Abstract: In children, adenoid and tonsil infection tends to reccurent and chronic infection in both lymphoid tissue leads into oxygenation obstruction in airway, especially in sleep, that resulted in altered quality of life in children. Breathing disorder in sleep, obviously in children, will affect their routines in daytime including studying, learning, and attention deficit disorder. This research is a pre-experimental study with one group pre-post test design (before-after study). In this study, we have one group of children undergoing adenotonsillectomy. Then we will assess the quality of life by using PedsQL before adenotonsillectomy and after adenotonsillectomy, and then we will compare the PedsQL score between before and after adenotonsillectomy. In this study, we can obtain an improvement of physic activity function, feeling or emotion function (mental), sociality function, child function in school, and significant quality of life based on PedsQL score in children with chronic adenotonsilitis after underwent adenotonsillectomy operation.
