Abstract

Aim: to explore the utilization of ginger and its effect on relieving the chemotherapy related nausea and vomiting among patients with gynecological cancer. Methods: An quasi-experimental research design was utilized to conduct this study on 132 patients attended the oncology center of Mansoura University Hospital between January 2013 to December 2013 for chemotherapy for a gynecologic tumor. The study sample served as a one arm intervention group. Data were collected using three tools; the 1st tool was an interview questionnaire to assess the general characteristics of the patients, the 2nd tool was the Rhodes Inventory of Nausea, Vomiting and Retching (INVR) to assess the level and severity of nausea and vomiting experienced before and after the chemotherapy and the 3rd tool was the woman's follow up card to assess the patient's compliance with the ginger tablets. Results: The baseline total Rhodes Index score was significantly decreased after receiving the assigned dose of Ginger tablets (63.8±5.3 at base line and 60.6±4.9 at end of the study P<0.0001). Conclusion: Ginger tablets are effective in reducing the chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting.
