 The survival rate of childhood cancer has recently improved greatly. Therefore, treatments which reduce late stage side effects have been selected. Cognitive dysfunction is one of these side effects. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of occupational therapy on cognitive function and Quality of Life (QOL) of children after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for treatment of hematological malignancy and aplastic anemia.

 Participants in the study were fourteen children who received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. 4 boys and 10 girls, aged 6 to 16 years old were divided into a high irradiation (HI) group and a low/non-irradiation (L/NI) group. The HI group was composed of 8 children who received whole body irradiation (12-16Gy), and the L/NI group was composed of 6 children who received the whole body irradiation (3Gy) and 4 who received no irradiation. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition (WISC-Ⅲ) and The Das-Naglieri Cognitive Assessment System (DN-CAS) were used to the investigation cognitive function, and QOL was investigated by The Pediatric Quality of Life InventoryTM (PedsQL).

 Regarding the of WISC-Ⅲ and total standard scores of the DN-CAS, there were no unusually low scores in either group. However, about 30 percent of the children exhibited large individual differences of ability.

 Regarding PedsQL, statistical analysis showed that scores of some items in the HI group were lower than that of L/NI group.

 There was little correlation among the scores of WISC-Ⅲ, DN-CAS and PedsQL. Additional research is needed on increased numbers of participants regarding the actual state of their QOL.
