“…Findings by Epstein et al (2017) show that cryotherapy can stimulated saliva. Previous research have carried out many studies of chewing gum or cryotherapy in patients undergoing chemotherapy (Didem, Ayfer, & Ferda, 2014;Utami & Hayati, 2018).…”

“…Given the importance of the role of saliva and the consequences arising from hyposalivation, it is necessary for nurses to help increasing salivary volume in head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. Chewing gum and cryotherapy are easy, inexpensive, safe interventions done by patients to increase the volume of saliva and oral mucositis (Utami & Hayati, 2018). The use of cold therapy can make patients feel cold and toothache so that it requires criteria.…”

Introduction: Hyposalivation is a common problem experienced by head and neck (H&N) cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. Hyposalivation can cause negative effects on the physical aspects of making oral mucositis, pain during eating and talking as well as psychological effects that cause feeling of discomfort sadness and, ultimately, depression. Many nonpharmacological interventions can be done for hyposalivation that occur in patients, among which are chewing gum and cryotherapy because they are easy to do, easy to access, inexpensive and have minimal side effects. However, the effectiveness of these interventions is not yet clear. Hence, this study is aimed to determine the effectiveness of chewing gum versus cryotherapy to increase salivary volume in H&N cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy.Methods: A quasi-experimental time series group design to determine the most effective time to influence the increase in salivary volume. This research was conducted on 36 respondents H&N cancer undergoing radiotherapy with four times measurement are pretest-posttest on the 3rd, 5th, and 7th day of intervention between February and March 2020. Subjects were chosen using consecutive sampling. Chewing gum group will chew gum six (6) pieces/day and cryotherapy group will suck on ice cubes five (5) minutes before and after radiotherapy. The spitting method was used to collect saliva and the data were analyzed using General Linear Model-Repeated Measure (GLMRM).Results: Chewing gum is more effective to increase salivary volume than cryotherapy. The GLMRM within subjects at four (4) times measurement showed a significant difference between chewing gum and cryotherapy group with p value <0.05 on the 7th day. Subjects in the chewing gum group had better salivary volume increment than cryotherapy group.Conclusion: This study showed that chewing gum is more effective to increase salivary volume on patient H&N cancer undergoing radiotherapy because chewing gum has higher salivary volume increment than cryotherapy groups

“…Saat mengalami mukositis anak akan mengalami kesulitan makan atau minum bahkan harus menerima asupan nutrisi melalui parenteral. 24 Mukositis merupakan respon inflamasi sel epitel mukosa terhadap efek sitotoksik kemoterapi dan radiasi yang ditandai dengan adanya inflamasi, dan ulserasi pada rongga mulut. Kemoterapi juga menyebabkan pembelahan sel menjadi rusak selama pengobatan yang biasanya terjadi pada hari ke 5 sampai 7 setelah kemoterapi.…”

AbstrakMukositis merupakan suatu peradangan pada membran mukosa yang sering terjadi pada anak yang menderita kanker saat kemoterapi. Tujuan: Melihat gambaran kejadian mukositis sebelum dan sesudah dilakukan kemoterapi. Metode: Desain penelitian yaitu deskriptif terhadap 45 responden yaitu anak dengan kanker yang menjalani kemoterapi. Pengambilan sampel dengan purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data pada responden dengan menggunakan WHO mucositis scale. Analisa data menggunakan distribusi frekuensi. Hasil: Didapatkan sebelum menjalani kemoterapi seluruh responden (100%) tidak mengalami mukositis, sementara itu setelah menjalani kemoterapi didapatkan 28 responden (62,2%) mengalami mukositis dan 17 responden (37,8%) tidak mengalami mukositis. Simpulan: Deteksi dini mukositis sangat perlu sekali melalui pemeriksaan klinis yang dilakukan setelah anak menjalani kemoterapi. Perawat dapat mempertimbangkan dampak yang sering terjadi pada anak yang menjalani kemoterapi, serta adanya evidance practice yang diterapkan untuk mengatasi kejadian mukositis.

“…Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), which includes (but is not limited to) exercise training, education, and behavioural changes, might have a role in accelerating the improvement in the physical and psychological condition of patients with COVID-19 after discharge from hospital [ 9 ]. Indeed, several studies have also documented the therapeutic benefits of PR on improving the quality of life (QoL), respiratory function and psychological parameters of patients with COPD, asthma and lung cancer after thoracic surgery [ 10 – 12 ].…”

As of 10 March 2021, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has resulted in more than 0.1 billion laboratory-confirmed cases and more than 2.5 million deaths globally [1]. Both the economic impact and disease burden of COVID-19 far exceeded those of severe acute respiratory syndrome and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome. The number of patients who have recovered from COVID-19 is increasing [2] despite an escalation of total number of cases worldwide.
