“…Nurses are positively involved in solving problems associated with the oral cavity, as caused by systemic diseases. For example, when patients' suffering from chemotherapy induced oral mucositis [25]- [27], stroke care settings [35], in these patients situation, nurses have to provide oral care for such patients. In the textbooks used in fundamental nursing courses, there are few descriptions on dental mastication, which is a basic oral function, but there are instructions for classic tooth brushing.…”

“…Current oral health care assessments by Eilers' Oral Assessment Guide [21] and its revised versions [22]- [24] are often used as references. These are assessment methods for the oral cavity, especially for detecting mucositis in patients undergoing chemotherapy [25]- [27] or radiotherapy [28]. However, for nurses' use, there are no existing guidelines for assessing oral status and oral health behaviors of patients that consider diabetes treatment goals and current oral physical status.…”

Although some studies have suggested a bidirectional relationship between diabetes and periodontal disease, there were no appropriate tools for nurses to evaluate oral status and oral health behaviors in patients with diabetes. Therefore, the Diabetes Oral Health Assessment Tool (DiO-HAT©) was developed with items contributed by health care professionals (diabetologists, periodontal specialists, a preventive dentist, a Certified Nurse in Diabetes Nursing, a national registered dietitian, registered nurses, a dental hygienist, and nursing researchers) who were involved in the medical care of patients with diabetes. Subsequently, a survey of 700 Diabetes Nurse Specialists (DNS) was conducted to determine their score of recognition and implementation of the DiOHAT©, however, 304 participants (43.4%) responded. Constructive concept validation and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for all assessment items was 0.932, indicating high reliability: Factor 1, Patient's oral health status (α = 0.874); Factor 2, Implementation of oral health behaviors (α = 0.890); Factor 3, Information transmission regarding dental visits (α = 0.862); and Factor 4, Perceptions and knowledge of oral health behaviors (α = 0.793). Although the mean score of recognition of DiOHAT© was 3.5 ± 0.4 points, the mean value of the implementation score was 1.5 ± 0.5 Y. Kuwamura et al. 1711 points (obtained using a 4-grade scale). The implementation scores were significantly lower than the recognition scores for all items (p < 0.001). The findings suggested that the DNS were not inclined to implement all items of DiOHAT©, despite recognizing their importance.

“…Information is an important tool to be used in reducing or eliminating patients' insecurity and fear of PONV. These findings are supported by Miller et al (2006) who showed that when the patients are informed and understand they are given the possibility of participating in their own care, which can lead to an increased feeling of being in control. Providing good information to patients is of great importance and some studies show that well-informed patients do feel more in control of their situation.…”

When it comes to relieving postoperative nausea and vomiting, the findings of this study are important as the study highlights the practical actions taken by nurses and their experiences. When nurses have the possibility to use their nursing tools in an optimal way, together with their experience and knowledge and then follow their nursing actions by being able to reflect on them, they can further develop their approach to nursing and thereby increase their competence as nurses.

Patient experiences with oral mucositis caused by chemo-/radiotherapy: a critical qualitative literature review

2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Mucositis is one of the most common side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In order to develop an evidence-based clinical practice guideline for the management of tumor therapy-induced-oral mucositis, it was necessary to capture the patients' perspective. Therefore the aim of this critical literature review was to explore the experience of patients with therapy-induced-oral mucositis. Searches were carried out using a systematic search strategy in CINAHL and Medline. Qualitative studies investigating the view of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy and suffering from oral mucositis were included. Study selection and quality assessment were performed by two independent reviewers. Only two qualitative studies (n=28 patients) met the inclusion criteria. Oral mucositis caused by cancer therapy is associated with serious complications concerning pain, eating, swallowing, speaking, sadness, lack of energy, and distress. Mucositis was described as the worst side effect of cancer therapy. Providing patient-centered care requires understanding the experience and the needs of patients and their families. Mucositis is associated with complex physical, psychological and social consequences. Unfortunately, both studies were performed in different cultural backgrounds and health care systems, so the results cannot simply be transferred to German-speaking countries. Further research is needed to gain a deeper understanding of living with mucositis.
