“…The purpose of education and telephone counseling was to empower FCs to provide care for the patients and preserve themselves from strain. Firstly, the relevant educational content was provided in a booklet using reliable sources (Farrokhnia et al, 2011; Haddadi et al, 2019; Lyman et al, 2018; Pinto et al, 2016; Razmara & Khayamzadeh, 2019). Then, to confirm the validity of the content booklet, faculty members with work experiences in chemotherapy wards (one hematoncologist and three nursing faculties) were asked to review the booklet.…”

Introduction Family caregivers of patients with cancer face a care burden due to the responsibilities and problems of providing care to the patients. Applying appropriate strategies to reduce the burden is essential. Objective The study aimed to determine the effect of education and telephone follow-up on family caregivers’ burden on patients with cancer. Methods In this quasi-experimental study, 69 family caregivers of patients with cancer referred to only one chemotherapy center of a hospital in Lorestan province in Iran were recruited by convenience sampling method. They were randomly assigned to intervention ( n = 33) and control ( n = 36) groups. For the intervention group, two face-to-face training sessions and six telephone counseling sessions were held related to the care of the patients and self-care. The control group received only routine care. The family caregiver burden was measured by Novak and Gast Caregiver Burden Inventory (1989) completed before, immediately, and 6 weeks after the study. Data were analyzed by SPSS21 using independent t-tests, paired t-tests, and repeated measures. Results Both groups were homogeneous regarding demographic characteristics and the baseline care burden. The caregiver burden decreased significantly in the intervention group, so its score was 77.33 ± 8.49, 58.93 ± 8.03, and 52.78 ± 6.86 before the study, immediately after and 6 weeks later, respectively ( p < .001). In the control group, there were no significant changes. Conclusion Education and telephone counseling reduced the burden on family caregivers. Therefore, this type of support is beneficial for providing holistic care and preserving the health of family caregivers.

Background: Nausea and vomiting are among the most common side effects of chemotherapy, and despite using pharmaceutical treatments, no desired outcome has yet been achieved in this regard. Therefore, using non-pharmacological techniques has been recommended. Objectives: The present study examined the effect of overshadowing on chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in children with leukemia. Methods: In this clinical trial study, participants were 70 children aged 3 - 18 years admitted to the Oncology Department of Mofid hospital in Tehran, Iran, and were randomly assigned to two intervention and control groups. A flavored candy was given to each child in the intervention group 10 minutes before the start of chemotherapy. This process was repeated during three rounds of chemotherapy. The severity of nausea was measured with the Baxter Animated Retching Faces Scale. The frequency of vomiting was measured using a checklist in both groups 10 minutes before and immediately after chemotherapy. The data were analyzed with SPSS software (version 25). Results: The data revealed no statistically significant difference in the severity of nausea in the first and second chemotherapy rounds between the intervention and control groups (P > 0.05). However, there was a significant difference in the third chemotherapy round between the two groups (P < 0.05). The severity of nausea and frequency of vomiting in three chemotherapy rounds was not significant (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The results indicated that overshadowing was not effective in reducing the severity of nausea and frequency of vomiting. Further studies are needed to determine the potential effects of this technique on gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea and vomiting.
