Clinical Trial Summary

Nausea and vomiting are serious problems in patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation. It is stated that the incidence of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting is more than 50%, even if the patient has been given antiemetic prophylaxis during the treatment process. Breathing is the easiest relaxation exercise applied during the flow in everyday life and also one of the most important and essential parts of other relaxation exercise. The handbooks prepared for the patients undergoing chemotherapy recommend deep breathing exercises in order to prevent their nausea and vomiting. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of respiratory exercise on chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Research Hypotheses Ho: Respiratory exercise is not effective in preventing chemotherapy-associated nausea and vomiting in autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients. H1: Respiratory exercise is effective in preventing chemotherapy-associated nausea and vomiting in autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients. In the literature, no study has been found investigating the effect of breathing exercises on chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of respiratory exercise on chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Intervention

Other:
• Breathing exercise group
The exercise was applied in accordance with the "Guideline on Breathing Exercise for Reducing Nausea and Vomiting" prepared by the researcher in accordance with the literature. In addition, the researcher has a breath coaching certificate. The guideline include the application steps of breathing exercise. First, the researcher will demonstrate to the patients the practice of breathing exercise in accordance with the guideline. In the next step, patients they will be asked to do this application on themselves. The training is planned to take about 15-20 minutes for each patient. This guide will be given to patients after the training. They will be asked to do this breathing exercise correctly and effectively in accordance with the guideline for at least 5 min in case of sensation of nausea and vomiting for 14 days. The researcher will follow up the patients for 14 days by visiting room them every day.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Daily Nutritional Consumption Amount Form	The amount of consumption of the patient in the morning, lunch, evening and snacks will be recorded before the treatment and throughout the study. The patient's antiemetic treatment, enteral and parenteral nutrition will be recorded daily in the follow-up form.	Baseline and 14 days
Other	Patient Nausea And Vomiting Episode Follow-Up Form	This follow-up chart was created by the researcher in order to evaluate the severity and episode of nausea and vomiting symptom during chemotherapy treatment and post-transplantation in patients with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The scale consists of a 100 mm/10 cm long horizontal line. On the left end of the line, there is 0 "No nausea" statement, while on the right end there is 10 "Nausea is very severe" statement.; The patient will be asked to mark the point on the line that will accurately reflect his or her nausea state. In addition, the patient will be asked to write down the number of nausea and vomiting numerically.	Baseline and 14 days
Primary	Patient Information Form	Patient Information Form is a form prepared to determine the sociodemographic and disease-related characteristics of the patients. Sociodemographic characteristics of patient are composed of height, age, weight, educational status, social security, occupation, marital status, nutritional habits, smoking and alcohol use. Patient Information Form have general information about the patients such as diagnosis, duration, stage, and metastasis status of the disease, antiemetic drugs and treatment history. Disease history of cancer is , nausea-vomiting complaints before chemotherapy, the presence of any non-pharmacological method used to reduce nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy drugs.	Baseline
Secondary	Rhodes Index of Nausea, Vomiting ve Retching	Responses to each item are classified by using expressions appropriate to the item and scoring the severity of the nausea-vomiting-retching experience from 0 to 4. There are eight items in this scale that evaluate the experience, frequency and distress of nausea-vomiting and retching. The increase in score reflects worsening of the complaint experienced.	Baseline and 14 days
