- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Visual Analog Scale: It will take 10 weeks to collect data three times after randomization is done. The first measurement of pain will be done in the first week, the second measurement in the fifth week and the third measurement in the tenth week. It is a scale used to evaluate the pain experienced by patients. Scale; It contains the numbers "start 0 (no pain)" and "10 (severe pain)" at the other end. The patient marks the level of pain he experiences based on these two values.
The Rhodes index of nausea, vomiting and retching (RINVR) It will take 10 weeks to collect data three times after randomization is done. The first measurement of nausea, vomiting will be done in the first week, the second measurement in the fifth week and the third measurement in the tenth week. They found that the alpha internal consistency coefficient of the Nausea, Vomiting and Regurgitation Index, developed by Rhodes and McDaniel and validity and reliability by Rhodes and McDaniel, ranged from 0.98, and the alpha internal consistency coefficients of the subgroups ranged between 0.83 and 0.99. Each response is scored as 0 = least distress, 4 = most distress. The patient's experience of nausea and vomiting in each of the 8 items is summed up. The highest possible value is 32 and represents the most severe symptom occurrence score.It was adapted to Turkish society by Tan and Genç (2010).
Beck Anxiety Scale (BAI) It will take 10 weeks to collect data three times after randomization is done. The first measurement of anxiety will be done in the first week, the second measurement in the fifth week and the third measurement in the tenth week. Beck et al. (1988) in order to determine the frequency of anxiety symptoms experienced by the individual. The scale is a Likert-type self-assessment scale consisting of 21 items and scored between 0-3. The high total score indicates the high level of anxiety experienced by the person. The score range ranges from 0 to 63. Evaluation of the scale is 0-7 points for no anxiety symptoms, 8-15 for mild anxiety, 16-25 for moderate anxiety, and 26-63 for severe anxiety symptoms.
FACT-G Quality of Life Scale It will take 10 weeks to collect data three times after randomization is done. The first measurement of quality of life will be done in the first week, the second measurement in the fifth week and the third measurement in the tenth week. FACT-G is a quality of life scale. In the Turkish naming of this scale, the abbreviation of the original scale \[Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- General\] (FACT-G) is used. It was developed by Cella et al. in 1993. The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale were performed by Çetiner et al. in 2004. This scale has 4 subgroups consisting of 28 items: physical condition, social life and family status, activity status and emotional state. Total scale score is obtained by summing the scores of all items and subgroup scores are obtained by summing the scores of the items in the subgroup. High scores on the total scale and subgroups suggest that patients' quality of life is also high.
