  "description": "<p>Background: Cancer affects millions of people in the world each year, leading many to face<br>\nthe difficult road of chemotherapy. When cancer patients are ill-prepared for chemotherapy<br>\ntreatments, they often tend to envision the worst-case scenarios, possibly making the<br>\nanticipation more difficult than the event itself. In Ethiopia evidence on self-care behavior on<br>\nchemotherapy and associated factors is limited. So this study is aimed to fill the gap.<br>\nObjectives: To assess self-care behavior and associated factors among cancer patients who<br>\nare on chemotherapy treatment at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital Addis Ababa, Ethiopia<br>\n2018. Methods: Institution based cross-sectional study design was conducted on sample<br>\nstudy of 254 study participants at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital using simple random<br>\nsampling techniques. Face to face interview with structured questionnaire was used to collect<br>\ndata. Prior to data collection 5% pretest was done to ensure the quality of data. Data was<br>\nentered in to EpI &ndash;data version 4.2 and exported into SPSS versions 24 for analysis.<br>\nDescriptive statistics used to describe the study participants with major independent and<br>\ndependent variables&rsquo; including frequencies, proportion, mean and standard deviation was<br>\ndemonstrated by using tables, graphs and texts. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression<br>\nwas used to look for association between predictors and dependent variable. Crude and<br>\nadjusted odds ratios with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals were computed</p>",
