| Abstract | ||
| Headache pain, anxiety, and Fatigue are recognized as one of the most common and distressing adverse effects among patients with brain tumors. Aim was to evaluate the effect of the nurse-led intervention on headache pain, anxiety, and fatigue level among patients with brain tumors. Subjects and method: Design: A quasi-experimental research design was used to fulfill the aim of this study. Setting: the research was conducted in the neurosurgery department at Mansoura University Hospital. Subjects: A purposive sample of 50 adult patients was included. Four tools were used: Tool (I) a structured interview questionnaire (II) a numerical pain rating scale, (III) a State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Tool (IV) a Fatigue assessment scale. Results: The current study revealed that there was a highly statistically significant difference and reductions in headache pain mean scores post-nurse-led intervention at (P= <0.05). Also, the study demonstrated that there was a highly statistically significant difference in anxiety scores post-nurse-led intervention with (P= <0.001). Highly statistically significant differences and reductions were detected between fatigue mean scores pre and post-nurse-led intervention with (P= <0.001). Conclusion: The nurse-led intervention had a positive effect on headache pain, anxiety, and fatigue level among patients with brain tumors. Recommendations: The nurse-led intervention regarding brain tumors should be conducted, discussed, and integrated into the rehabilitation programs. | ||
