Abstract   (1704 Views)
Aims: To evaluate oncology nurses' practices regarding chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in cancer patients and whether there is a correlation between the effectiveness of an interventional program on nurses' practices and their demographics. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an interventional program on nurses' practices regarding patients with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.
Materials & Methods: This quasi-experimental research was conducted with a pretest/posttest strategy, from October 28, 2021, to May 14, 2023, in Al-Habboubi Teaching Hospital. 60 nurses were selected by available sampling and were allocated into two groups; control and intervention (each 30 nurses). The data-gathering tool had two sections; demographic information of the nurses and an observation checklist for nurse practices regarding chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (27 items). The data was analyzed using SPSS 26 software by Chi-square and One-way analysis of variance.
Findings: There was no significant difference in practice scores regarding CIPN between the control (1.06±0.05) and study (1.03±0.04) groups (t=-2.658; p=0.13). The practice score of the study group (2.68±0.14) was significantly (t=-52.145; p<0.001) higher than that of the control group (1.11±0.07) after the intervention. One-way analysis of variance showed no relationships between the two groups in pretest and posttest according to demographic parameters.
Conclusion: The chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy training program improves the practice of oncology nurses.
