    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;Background: Cancer affects millions of people in the world each year, leading many to face&lt;br&gt;
the difficult road of chemotherapy. When cancer patients are ill-prepared for chemotherapy&lt;br&gt;
treatments, they often tend to envision the worst-case scenarios, possibly making the&lt;br&gt;
anticipation more difficult than the event itself. In Ethiopia evidence on self-care behavior on&lt;br&gt;
chemotherapy and associated factors is limited. So this study is aimed to fill the gap.&lt;br&gt;
Objectives: To assess self-care behavior and associated factors among cancer patients who&lt;br&gt;
are on chemotherapy treatment at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital Addis Ababa, Ethiopia&lt;br&gt;
2018. Methods: Institution based cross-sectional study design was conducted on sample&lt;br&gt;
study of 254 study participants at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital using simple random&lt;br&gt;
sampling techniques. Face to face interview with structured questionnaire was used to collect&lt;br&gt;
data. Prior to data collection 5% pretest was done to ensure the quality of data. Data was&lt;br&gt;
entered in to EpI &amp;ndash;data version 4.2 and exported into SPSS versions 24 for analysis.&lt;br&gt;
Descriptive statistics used to describe the study participants with major independent and&lt;br&gt;
dependent variables&amp;rsquo; including frequencies, proportion, mean and standard deviation was&lt;br&gt;
demonstrated by using tables, graphs and texts. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression&lt;br&gt;
was used to look for association between predictors and dependent variable. Crude and&lt;br&gt;
adjusted odds ratios with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals were computed&lt;/p&gt;</description>
