Brief Summary:
This study aims to evaluate the effects of foot baths on chemotherapy-induced fatigue in pediatric oncology patients Current literature lacks studies assessing this intervention in the pediatric population Chemotherapy a common cancer treatment often results in side effects such as nausea vomiting constipation diarrhea taste changes mouth ulcers and notably fatigue Fatigue affects 51-86 of pediatric cancer patients and significantly impacts their quality of life Addressing fatigue comprehensively is crucial for improving patients quality of life Non-pharmacological methods like foot baths have shown promise in reducing chemotherapy-related fatigue Previous studies with gynecological cancer patients and others have found that warm water foot baths can alleviate fatigue and improve relaxation by reducing sympathetic activity and facilitating oxygen and nutrient delivery to the brain This randomized controlled trial is designed to scientifically evaluate the efficacy of foot baths in alleviating fatigue in pediatric patients post-chemotherapy
Detailed Description:
Study Objective There are no existing studies in the literature that evaluate the effect of foot baths on chemotherapy-induced fatigue in the pediatric population Therefore this research aims to assess the impact of foot baths on fatigue in pediatric patients post-chemotherapy and scientifically examine this effect through a randomized controlled trial
General Information One of the commonly used treatment methods in coping with cancer is chemotherapy Chemotherapy causes many side effects in patients such as nausea and vomiting constipation diarrhea changes in taste and smell mouth ulcers and notably fatigue Fatigue is frequently reported by patients Literature indicates that 51-86 of children with cancer experience fatigue related to cancer and its treatment Fatigue can negatively affect the quality of life of patients making it an important area of focus in the care of children with cancer Comprehensive management of fatigue is crucial for improving the patients quality of life One non-pharmacological method that can be used to reduce fatigue is a foot bath In a study involving patients with gynecological cancer soaking feet in warm water 41-42C for 20 minutes was found to be effective in reducing chemotherapy-related fatigue Another study by Yamamoto and colleagues evaluating the physical and psychological effects of foot baths with warm water on cancer patients indicated that after a 5-minute massage with olive oil soaking feet in water at 38-42C for 20 minutes provided relaxation and pain relief by reducing sympathetic activity Another study found that warm water foot baths facilitated the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the brain by increasing blood volume through vasodilation thus reducing fatigue
