Summary

This study is carried out to evaluate and compare the efficiency of acupressure practice applied with pressure or sea-band and their placebo on managing the acute nausea-vomiting symptoms developing due to chemotherapy in pediatric oncology patients.

Conditions

  • Pediatric Cancer
  • Nausea With Vomiting Chemotherapy-Induced

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

manuel acupressure

Acupressure was applied once by the researcher 30 minutes before applying the chemotherapeutic agent with medium or high emetogenicity to the randomized child. 3 fingers were placed on the child's wrist with their fingers and the region (point P6) between the flexor carpi radians and palmaris longus 1 cm below. Acupressure was applied to the wrist of the child by press for 2 minutes. The same procedure was applied to the other wrist. Then, data were recorded in accordance with the data collection procedure.

BEHAVIORAL

sea-band acupressure

30 minutes before applying the chemotherapeutic agent with medium or high emetogenicity to the randomized child, sea-band acupress was applied by the researcher. The P6 point on the wrist was identified and marked with the child's own fingers. A sea band was attached to both wrists of the child by the researcher. The attached sea-band was allowed to remain for 15 minutes and was removed by the researcher at the end of the period. Separate sea-band was attached to each child. Acupress wrist bands, which are produced in separate sizes for adults and children, were used during the application, taking into account the physical development of the child, pediatric for the age range of 5-12, and adult size sea-band for the age of 12. Acupress application with sea-band was done once. Then, data were recorded in accordance with the data collection procedure

BEHAVIORAL

placebo manuel acupressure

Placebo manual acupress was applied in the next protocol for the child who was administered manual acupressure.

BEHAVIORAL

placebo sea-band
