Abstract
Background Patients undergoing chemotherapy are at risk of developing neutropenia that may cause life-threatening infections and death. Aim: Evaluate effect of designing nursing teaching protocol on patients undergoing chemotherapy to minimize complications of neutropenia. Design: A Pre and Post test research design was utilized. Sample: sixty adult patients undergoing chemotherapy both males and females. Setting: The study was carried out in the internal medical oncology departments and intensive care unit at South Egypt Cancer Institute. Tools: An interview questionnaire sheet for the patient, A designed nursing teaching protocol for patients undergoing chemotherapy to minimize complications of neutropenia and patient`s assessment sheet for complications of neutropenia. Results: There were highly statistically significant differences between "pre and post" application of the designed nursing teaching protocol in both all knowledge items and complications of neutropenia P<0.001. Conclusion: there were highly statistically significant differences between studied patients "pre and post" application of the designed nursing teaching protocol regarding total knowledge and complications of neutropenia. Recommendation: Tangible tools and education of patients, families and healthcare workers are keys to speedy recognition of potentially life-threatening symptoms associated with neutropenia.
