The aim of this pilot study was to assess the effectiveness of using progressive muscle relaxation training (PMRT) in the management of chemotherapy-related @entity1209 in Chinese @entity0 @entity1 receiving @entity632 and @entity786 as well as feasibility issues for a larger study. Eight @entity1 were randomly assigned to receive either oral anti-emetics as per hospital protocol (maxolon) or adjuvant PMRT. Both groups, however, received intravenous anti-emetics half an hour before the chemotherapy administration. PMRT was given by a trained nurse once a day for 5 days. A repeated measures design was used. @entity390 and @entity391 were assessed with the Morrow @entity390 and Vomiting Scale. Results indicated that the duration and intensity of @entity390 were lower in the experimental group, although the former was at a borderline level of significance. The duration and @entity391 were also lower in the experimental group. Delayed @entity1209 was observed in both groups. Despite the small sample size, the study showed that PMRT is an effective adjuvant method to decrease @entity1209 in chemotherapy @entity1 . This has implications for nursing practice, as it is a low-cost and easy-to-leam technique that can be incorporated in the care planning of @entity1 receiving chemotherapy.
