Non-pharmacological nursing interventions in chemotherapy-induced nausea in adult patients : A literature review (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Cancerpatienter som genomgår cytostatikabehandling får ofta biverkningar i form av illamående och kräkningar. Ett långvarigt illamående kan ge upphov till både psykiska och fysiska konsekvenser, som ett försämrat allmäntillstånd, minskad livskvalitet och minskat välbefinnande. De antiemetika läkemedlen som finns mot Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) fungerar i många fall inte helt optimalt för patienterna, och många patienter är villiga att testa icke-farmakologiska metoder som ett komplement. Syftet: att belysa icke-farmakologiska omvårdnadsåtgärder mot cytostatika-inducerat illamående hos vuxna patienter. Metoden var en allmän litteraturstudie som genomfördes med tolv stycken vetenskapliga artiklar som granskades med hjälp av en fem-stegs modell. Resultatet visade på att icke-farmakologiska metoder kan ha effekt mot CINV och presenteras i tre huvudkategorier, Akupunktur, Akupressur och Avslappningsmetoder och muskelavslappning. Slutsatsen att icke-farmakologiska metoder har effekt mot CINV men att det behövs mer forskning i Europa och Sverige för att kunna tillämpa metoderna mer frekvent i den svenska hälso-och sjukvården än vad det görs idag. Det av vikt att sjuksköterskor som träffar dessa patienter som lider av CINV har kunskap om de olika icke-farmakologiska metoderna.

Abstract [en]

Background: Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy often experience side effects in form of nausea and vomiting. Prolonged nausea can give rise to both psychological and physical consequences for the patient, the quality of life and well-being can decrease. The antiemetic drugs that are available against CINV does not work perfectly in many cases, and many patients are willing to try non-pharmacological methods as a supplement. The aim was to elucidate non-pharmacological nursing interventions against chemotherapy-induced nausea in adult patients. The study method was design as a structured literature review conducted with twelve scientific articled that was analyzed with a five-step model. The results of this literature study showed that treatment with non-pharmacological methods had a relieving effect. The result is presented in three main categories: Acupuncture, Acupressure and Relaxing Methods. The conclusion that non-pharmacological methods have an effect on CINV, but more research is needed in Europe and Sweden to be able to apply these methods more frequently in the Swedish health care system than it is done today. The conclusion is that non-pharmacological methods have an effect on CINV, but more research is needed in Europe and Sweden to be able to apply these methods more frequently in the Swedish health care system than is done today. It is important that nurses who care for these patients need education in the various non-pharmacological methods.
