Background The aim of the present work was to evaluate the impact of xerostomia on the quality of life of patients who underwent radiotherapy in the head and neck region. Material and Methods This was a cross-sectional, quantitative study. The sample comprised 40 patients whose xerostomia was classified through the xerostomia inventory and the quality of life evaluated through the oral health impact profile questionnaire (OHIP). Results The majority of participants were male (75%), mean age 58.7 years. According to the degree of severity of the xerostomia, the average score among the participants was 36 points, this being considered moderate xerostomia. A significant impact was observed, with the median score 11 points, with the highest scores in the domains related to functional limitation, physical pain and physical disability. The majority of the participants (97.5%) had reduced salivary flow after the end of radiotherapy. There was a significant positive correlation between the degree of xerostomia and reduced quality of life, Pearson correlation 0.5421, (p< 0.05). Conclusions Based upon the results it is concluded that xerostomia has a negative impact on the quality of life of patients who undergo radiotherapy in the head and neck region. Key words:Head and neck neoplasms, radiotherapy, xerostomia, quality of life.

“…Ağız mukozasının değerlendirilmesi ve bakımı, KT/RT alan hastalara bakım veren hemşirelerin önemli klinik müdahaleleri arasında yer almaktadır. Ağız boşluğunun geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçüm aracı ile sistematik olarak incelenmesi, hemşirelik müdahalelerine rehberlik etmede önemli bilgiler sağlamaktadır (91). Yaygın olarak kullanılan OM değerlendirme ölçeği Dünya Sağlık Örgütü Oral Toksisite Skalası (DSÖOTS) ağız içindeki tüm yapıları anatomik, semptomatik ve fonksiyonel olarak değerlendirmektedir (7).…”

ÖzOral mukozit, kemoterapi ve/veya radyoterapiyi takiben oral mukoza bütünlüğünün bozulmasıyla ortaya çıkmaktadır. Özellikle baş-boyun bölgesine uygulanan radyoterapi, antimetabolit ve alkilleyici kemoterapi ajanları oral mukozit sıklığında ve şiddetinde artışa neden olmaktadır. Oral mukozit gelişen hastalarda ağız/boğazda ağrı, enfeksiyon ve kanama gibi ciddi komplikasyonlar ortaya çıkmaktadır. Ayrıca günlük yaşam aktivitelerinde bozulma, sıvı, besin ve analjezi desteği, hastanede yatış süresinin uzaması ve tedavi maliyetinde artış gibi klinik ve ekonomik sonuçları olabilmektedir. Oral mukozitin önlenmesi/tedavisinde farmakolojik ve farmakolojik olmayan birçok ajan kullanılmaktadır. Bu derlemede oral mukozitin tanımı, epidemiyolojisi, gelişme mekanizması, etiyolojisi/risk faktörleri, klinik/ekonomik sonuçları, değerlendirilmesi, önlenmesi/tedavisi ve hemşirenin rolü tartışılacaktır.

“…Oral mucositis is a major side effect in patients receiving chemotherapy (Gandhiet al, 2018;Majoranaet al, 2016). Education about oral hygiene is important for the management of oral mucositis in children with leukemia (Carvalho et al, 2018;Erin, 2015). Psycho-education is a therapy that has been widely used to reduce stress in parents of children with leukemia (Mahmoud and Elaziz, 2015) and several chronic diseases in children (Patraet al, 2015).…”

Objective:To analyze the effect of psycho-educational intervention on knowledge of oral hygiene and psychological distress to the parents of children suffering from leukemia. Methods: Design of this study was a quasi-experimental pre-posttest control group design. The sample were 70 mothers who had children with leukemia (intervention group = 35 mothers; control group = 35 mothers). The independent variable was psycho-educational, while the dependent variables were oral hygiene knowledge and psychological distress. The instruments used were the knowledge questionnaire and the Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS-21). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test and the Mann Whitney U-test with the significance α =0.05. Results: The knowledge most widely known by parents was about how to perform of oral care (37.3%). All parameters of knowledge about oral hygiene have increased after being given a psycho-educational intervention. Psycho-educational interventions had an effect on reducing psychological distress; depression (p=0.000), anxiety (p=0.001) and stress (p=0.000). Conclusion: Most parents whose children suffer from cancer experience psychological distress in the form of depression, anxiety and stress with a range of symptoms ranging from mild to moderate. Psycho-educational interventions can increase knowledge about oral hygiene and decrease psychological distress in parents.
