Detailed description: 
      In the population suffering from cancer, children and teenagers are in the majority. For
      children with rapid development of body and mind, with the change of cognitive ability, they
      will feel anxiety and fear about the expected potential negative events. Painting art therapy
      is a kind of non-verbal psychological therapy through the interaction between the painter,
      the painting work and the therapist, with the painting creation activity as the intermediary.
      The purpose is to develop symbolic language, touch the inner subconscious, and integrate into
      the personality, so as to produce cognitive and behavioral changes. Painting therapy and
      psychological analysis can improve the treatment compliance of children bone tumor patients,
      make psychological nursing and health education of patients more targeted, and promote the
      cooperation between medical care and patients. Forty pediatric bone tumor patients meeting
      the requirements were selected from the bone and soft tissue ward of our hospital. Twenty
      subjects were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental
      group underwent psychological evaluation, drawing analysis and psychotherapy intervention
      before and after chemotherapy and surgery, while the control group only underwent
      psychological evaluation without drawing analysis and psychotherapy intervention. This
      experiment was designed to evaluate the change of psychological state of children after
      intervention. To verify whether the intervention has improved the psychological and cognitive
      aspects of the children.
