Currently, the most effective anti-emetics appear to be 5-HT3 inhibitors, followed by NK1 inhibitors and neuroleptic drugs. Nevertheless, anti-emetics alone are not sufficient to manage these two symptoms. This poor symptom control could be due to healthcare professionals' perception that nausea and vomiting are solely biological problems, and their heavy reliance on pharmacological treatment for management. After literature search, we can identify only one validated instrument, the Pediatric Nausea Assessment tool (PeNAT), assessing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in children. Yet, this instruments is not available in Chinese. This study aims to translate and validate an instrument (PeNAT) which can assess nausea and vomiting among Hong Kong Chinese children and adolescents undergoing chemotherapy
