Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Nausea and vomiting are serious problems in patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation. It is stated that the incidence of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting is more than 50%, even if the patient has been given antiemetic prophylaxis during the treatment process.

Breathing is the easiest relaxation exercise applied during the flow in everyday life and also one of the most important and essential parts of other relaxation exercise. The handbooks prepared for the patients undergoing chemotherapy recommend deep breathing exercises in order to prevent their nausea and vomiting.

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of respiratory exercise on chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Research Hypotheses Ho: Respiratory exercise is not effective in preventing chemotherapy-associated nausea and vomiting in autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients.

H1: Respiratory exercise is effective in preventing chemotherapy-associated nausea and vomiting in autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients.

In the literature, no study has been found investigating the effect of breathing exercises on chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients.

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of respiratory exercise on chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Participants

All of the participants were blinded to the randomization procedure.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Breathing exercise group

The researcher will collect the data using Patient Information Form, Rhodes Index of Nausea, Vomiting and Retching Scale, Patient Diary for determining the number of nausea, vomiting, and retching episodes and the hours of breathing exercise of the patient, and Daily Nutritional Consumption Amount Form through face-to-face interview technique on the first day and for 14 days.

During chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation, antiemetic treatment included in the treatment protocol will be applied to the patients.

The patients will train about the application of breathing exercise by the researcher. They will be asked to do this breathing exercise with the guideline for at least 5 min in case of sensation of nausea and vomiting for 14 days.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Breathing exercise group

Intervention Type OTHER

The exercise was applied in accordance with the "Guideline on Breathing Exercise for Reducing Nausea and Vomiting" prepared by the researcher in accordance with the literature. In addition, the researcher has a breath coaching certificate. The guideline include the application steps of breathing exercise. First, the researcher will demonstrate to the patients the practice of breathing exercise in accordance with the guideline. In the next step, patients they will be asked to do this application on themselves. The training is planned to take about 15-20 minutes for each patient. This guide will be given to patients after the training. They will be asked to do this breathing exercise correctly and effectively in accordance with the guideline for at least 5 min in case of sensation of nausea and vomiting for 14 days. The researcher will follow up the patients for 14 days by visiting room them every day.

Control group

The researcher will collect the data using Patient Information Form, Rhodes Index of Nausea, Vomiting and Retching Scale, Patient Diary for determining the number of nausea, vomiting, and retching episodes and the hours of breathing exercise of the patient, and Daily Nutritional Consumption Amount Form through face-to-face interview technique on the first day. The researcher will continue to fill out Rhodes Index of Nausea, Vomiting and Retching Scale, Patient Diary for determining the number of nausea, vomiting, and retching episodes and the hours of breathing exercise of the patient, and Daily Nutritional Consumption Amount Form for 14 days.

During chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation, antiemetic treatment included in the treatment protocol will be applied to the patients.
