“…The presence of anxiety in cancer patients, as well as their negative implications in the experience of the disease ratifies the importance of identifying suitable instruments for its evaluation and diagnosis (7) . In addition, an increase in the survival of this population justifies the search for nonpharmacological methods that lead to an improvement in their quality of life (8) . Anxiety brings with it neurophysiological changes, influencing blood pressure which causes tachycardia, altering pulse and respiratory rates.…”

“…The surgeries to which these patients are submitted to generate speech, chewing and swallowing impairments, palate alteration, and edema due to the lymph nodes being removed, among others, leading to a marked decrease in quality of life (14)(15) . In addition to these factors, cancer is a disease that causes changes in the quality of life, leading to depression and anxiety (6,8) , which can influence control over their own lives and the treatment (6,15) . At the same time, outpatient care may generate anxiety related to expecting bad news and disinformation regarding procedures by the professionals involved in outpatient care.…”

Objective: Evaluating the effectiveness of a musical intervention in reducing anxiety and vital parameters in people suffering from head and neck cancer. Method: A randomized controlled clinical trial, performed in a head and neck outpatient clinic with 40 participants, subdivided into two groups (intervention and control). The classical music "Spring" from The Four Seasons by Vivaldi was used as an intervention. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used as the data collection instrument, along with an inventory of socio-demographic and clinical data. Student's t-test was used to verify intragroup and intergroup statistical significance. Results: Participants presented a statistically significant reduction in levels of perceived anxiety (t = 12.68; p<0.001), as well as blood pressure levels (t = 4.56; p<0.001); pulse (t = 6.15; p<0.001) and respiratory rate (t = 5.10; p<0.001). Conclusion: Music has proven to be an effective non-pharmacological therapeutic resource in managing anxiety in an outpatient setting for people with cancer, as well as in reducing blood pressure, pulse and respiratory rate.

Objective: To construct and validate an educational technology (ET) on fatigue and nonpharmacological strategies for the management of this symptom in people with cancer undergoing outpatient antineoplastic chemotherapy. Method: This is a methodological study composed of three stages: 1) elaboration of the ET using the theoretical-methodological model of Doak, Doak and Root; 2) validation of content and appearance by seven nurses via the content validity index (CVI); and 3) a pilot test with 10 patients. Results: The ET "Knowing and coping with fatigue" contemplates the definition of fatigue, its causes and the interventions of physical exercise practice, sleep hygiene, energy conservation and behavioral intervention. The overall CVI obtained with the judges was 0.95. Conclusion: The ET presented content and appearance validity for health education regarding fatigue related to antineoplastic chemotherapy in outpatient cancer patients. RESUMOObjetivo: Construir e validar tecnologia educativa (TE) sobre fadiga e estratégias não farmacológicas para manejo desse sintoma em pessoas com câncer em tratamento quimioterápico antineoplásico ambulatorial. Método: Estudo metodológico composto por três etapas: 1) elaboração da TE, utilizando o modelo teórico-metodológico de Doak, Doak e Root; 2) validação de conteúdo e aparência por sete juízes enfermeiros, por meio do índice de validade de conteúdo (IVC); e 3) realização de teste piloto com 10 pacientes. Resultados: A TE "Conhecendo e lidando com a fadiga" contempla a definição de fadiga, suas causas e as intervenções de prática de exercícios físicos, higiene do sono, conservação de energia e intervenção comportamental. O IVC global obtido com os juízes foi de 0,95. Conclusão: A TE apresentou validade de conteúdo e aparência para a educação em saúde com relação à fadiga relacionada à quimioterapia antineoplásica em pacientes oncológicos ambulatoriais.
