    Participatory Design Improving the Quality of Life in Inpatient Children With Cancer
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Örnekoğlu Selçuk, Melis; Tunç Cox, Ayça; Örnekoğlu Selçuk, Melis; Tunç Cox, Ayça; Hasırcı İnceoğlu, Deniz; 01.01. Units Affiliated to the Rectorate; 02.04. Department of Industrial Design; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 02. Faculty of Architecture
    The diagnosis of cancer influences the lives of children in many ways. Instead of maintaining daily activities, children often visit hospitals or stay there for an uncertain period. Due to the disease and treatment, children experience suffering and pain, their school and play activities are interrupted and they become separated from social and familiar environments. This may cause several problems in their development and quality of life (QOL). QOL is the state of well-being in terms of physical, psychological and social aspects. According to surveys that investigate the negative effects of cancer on children’s QOL, “the loss of normalcy” and inability to play, do sports, spend time with family and friends are considered by children to be worse than the physical symptoms and side effects of the treatment. Children with cancer need play during hospitalization in order to pursue their development and to feel normal. A case study was conducted in Dokuz Eylül University Nevvar and Salih İşgören Children’s Hospital in order to understand the needs of children with cancer, provide a design suggestion for their play area, and especially investigate the effects of the participatory design process on QOL of children. A participatory design study was carried out in order to achieve more responsive results to participants’ needs by involving users in the design process. It was found out that the process contributes to the improvement of QOL of children by making them feel that their ideas matter as well as distracting them from negative thoughts regarding cancer.

    Co-Design With Children With Cancer: Insights From What They Say, Make, and Do
    (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi, 2023) Örnekoğlu Selçuk, Melis; Örnekoğlu Selçuk, Melis; Tunç Cox, Ayça; 01.01. Units Affiliated to the Rectorate; 02.04. Department of Industrial Design; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 02. Faculty of Architecture
    Being diagnosed with cancer is traumatic and life-changing for children. Due to the disease and treatment, children experience suffering, pain, interruption in school and playful activities, and separation from social and familiar environments. These negatively affect their quality of life (QOL). This article reports a co-design process conducted with children with cancer to shed light on their needs with regard to the play area furniture at the hospital to recommend design ideas that might improve children's QOL. The results have shown that a modular furniture system that can be customizable by children might contribute to their QOL - thanks to its adaptability to the needs of a wide range of age groups. In addition, there is a possible link between co-design sessions and children's well-being in terms of an increased sense of control, socialization and physical activities. For designers- who are the facilitators of co-design sessions with children- actively involving caregivers in co-design processes, co-designing the generative tools and the process with participants, and conducting observations and interviews to shape and complement the co-design sessions are advised. The findings of this study are expected to assist designers, co-design practitioners and healthcare members.
