Numerous methods have been tested to cope with this problem. Aims: the goal of this evidencebased review is to identify effectiveness of cryotherapy in prevention of oral mucositis in adult patients who received chemotherapy. The method: a literature search was performed using an appropriate keywords search in Cochrane, Science Direct and Pubmed databases from 2009 to 2013. However, two exclusive studies that were conducted in 2007 have been included. Nine full papers are included in this review. The inclusion criteria were : adult cancer patients who had OM, Oral mucositis induced by chemotherapy, using cryotherapy to prevent OM and articles written in English language. The findings: cryotherapy has an effective method in prevention of OM with chemotherapy regimens that include 5FU regimens and high dose melphalan. Conclusions: cryotherapy is an effective method for prevention of oral mucositis in patients who received two specific chemotherapy regimens that include 5FU regimens and high dose melphalan. In addition, the efficacy of oral cryotherapy is affected by the types of chemotherapy regimens including the half life for each one and it depends on the causative mechanisms of oral mucositis including direct and indirect mucositis. Recommendations: researchers recommended doing additional studies (clinical trials) to broaden the potential applications of cryotherapy in clinical settings, with increased sample size in order to generalize findings, and to increase nursing awareness with this method.","PeriodicalId":340840,"journal":{"name":"Middle East Journal of Nursing","volume":"396 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131850867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cancer related pain is still permanent, and is feared as problematic worldwide. Cancer pain management is the most problematic when found in patients who have a malignant tumor, and represents the most feared consequences for patients and their families. Cancer related pain management stays a challenge in cancer patients, their families, and oncology nurses due to lack of knowledge and assessment of pain which causes inadequate pain management. There is agreement among experts about the classification of pain into nociceptive, neuropathic, psychogenic, mixed, or idiopathic. This classification is found useful in assessment and therapeutic decision making. Nonetheless, it is now widely accepted that persistent pain may be sustained by different types of mechanisms and experts agree that clinical characteristics can be used to broadly divide pain syndromes into nociceptive, neuropathic, psychogenic, mixed, or idiopathic. Those involved with overlapping cancer related pain should be aware of the barrier of the realization that faces health care providers; thus, they need more studies to further understand the unique molecular mechanisms by which cancer produces sensitization and pain so that new pharmacological targets can be identified that will reduce or block tumor-evoked sensitization.","PeriodicalId":340840,"journal":{"name":"Middle East Journal of Nursing","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122823309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method: In this integrative review 9 articles have been used, three qualitative and six quantitative based on two major database PubMed and Science Direct from 2008 to 2013 and the population target is both males and females ages more than 18 years and who have alopecia induced chemotherapy or have risk of developing alopecia. Result: In most studies women appear to be more effected by alopecia induced by chemotherapy than males therefore the cooling scalp has been used to prevent alopecia, especially among women and the result of this method is a positive effect. Conclusion: In this integrative review I recommend to focus on this method and trigger the researchers to do more specific studies on cooling the scalp among men and on the type of cancer to bring more effective results of use of this method because it very cheap and easy to apply and the result of most of the previous research showed it had a positive effect.","PeriodicalId":340840,"journal":{"name":"Middle East Journal of Nursing","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128459499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
