Oral mucositis is a distressing complication of chemotherapy-induced toxicity in cancer patients, it effect on the well-being of patients, demonstrating its negative impact on patients’ quality of life, and may lead to dose reduction among patients. Hence, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of educational guidelines on reducing chemotherapy induced oral mucositis based on patients' needs assessment. A quasi-experimental research design (pretest and posttest) has been conducted to achieve the aim of this study. This study was conducted in the inpatients' department at Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine Department, affiliated to Ain Shams University. A purposive sample of 70 adult patients was selected based on certain inclusion criteria. A structured interview questionnaire, Oral assessment guide, and Patients' health condition assessment (Patient-related outcomes PROMs) are methods used to collect the data among the studied patients. There was statistically significant improvement in the post-test implementation of educational guidelines as regard patient's mouth care practice with p-value <0.001 and 88.6% of the patients had healthy oral cavity and didn't have any degree of oral mucositis. This study revealed the implementation of educational guidelines has a positive effect on the reducing chemotherapy induced oral mucositis for the patients undergoing chemotherapy.

A systematic review and meta‐analysis of psychosocial interventions for immigrant and limited English proficient cancer patients

et al. 2023

Objective Immigrants, particularly those who are less acculturated and limited English proficient (LEP), often lack access to culturally and linguistically appropriate psychosocial care in cancer survivorship. We sought to determine what psychosocial interventions are available for immigrant and/or LEP cancer patients and to assess treatment and patient factors that may correlate with better psychosocial outcomes for this population. Methods We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of studies published through August 2022 of interventions conducted with immigrant and/or LEP cancer patients aimed at improving psychosocial outcomes (i.e., quality of life, depression, cancer‐related distress, and anxiety). Using Covidence, a software program for systematic review management, four independent raters screened 16,123 records with a systematic process for reconciling disagreement, yielding 48 articles (45 studies) for systematic review and 21 studies for meta‐analysis. Results Most studies were conducted with Spanish‐speaking patients with breast cancer. Study participants (N = 5400) were primarily middle‐aged (mean = 53 years old), female (90.0%), and Hispanic (67.0%). The weighted average effect size (g) across studies was 0.14 (95% CI 0.03–0.26) for quality of life (18 studies), 0.04 (95% CI −0.08 to 0.17) for depression (8 studies), 0.14 (95% CI −0.03 to 0.31) for cancer‐related distress (6 studies), and 0.03 (95% CI −0.11 to 0.16) for anxiety (5 studies). Conclusion The interventions under review had small but beneficial effects on psychosocial outcomes for immigrant and LEP cancer patients. Notably, effect sizes were smaller than those found in previous meta‐analyses of psychosocial interventions conducted in majority U.S.‐born, non‐Hispanic White, English‐speaking cancer patient samples. More research is needed to identify key components and adaptations of interventions that benefit immigrant and LEP cancer patients to strengthen their effects for this growing yet underserved population.

“…Various methods have been used to alleviate the levels of anxiety experienced by cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. For example, pre-chemotherapy education provided by nurses for 30 minutes has been shown effective in reducing anxiety levels [30]. Virtual reality and music therapy were found to significantly reduce levels of anxiety in patients undergoing chemotherapy, although virtual reality programs have been reported to result in symptoms that accompany cyber motion sick- This study evaluated the effects of clary sage oil and linalyl acetate inhalation on levels of anxiety and stress, as well as heart rate and blood pressure, in patients prior to starting chemotherapy.…”

Purpose:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of inhaled clary sage (Salvia sclarea L.) oil or linalyl acetate on patients' anxiety and stress levels before undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: Forty-five eligible participants were randomly assigned to inhale clary sage oil, or linalyl acetate, each at concentrations of 5% vol/vol in almond oil or pure almond oil (control). State-trait anxiety inventory (STAI), Stress rating scale, anxiety-visual analog scale (Anxiety-VAS), stress-visual analog scale (Stress-VAS), blood pressure, and heart rate were measured before and after the inhalation prior to undergoing chemotherapy. Results: Anxiety-VAS and Stress-VAS were significantly lower after than before inhalation of clary sage oil (p< .01 and p< .05, respectively) and linalyl acetate (p< .05 and p< .05, respectively), despite having no significant difference in the three groups compared with control group. Systolic (p< .05) and diastolic (p< .01) blood pressure before undergoing chemotherapy were significantly lower after than before inhalation of linalyl acetate, while there was no significant difference in after than before inhalation of clary sage oil, despite both reducing levels of anxiety and stress. Conclusion: These findings suggest that linalyl acetate inhalation may be inappropriate in lowering anxiety and stress in patients undergoing chemotherapy, despite its anxiolytic and antistress effects, while clary sage oil inhalation may be useful in reducing anxiety and stress in patients undergoing chemotherapy, which has a risk of hypotensive side effects.
