Popis: On the basis of research carried out, emetogenity, besides alopecia, is the most unpleasant undesirable influence of chemotherapy for women patients. Emetogenity of chemotherapy is sometimes sufficient reason for a patient to give up treatment, taking into consideration the known fact of unavoidable presence of common state deterioration. Psychological stability of patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy has special importance, for, at the moment of treatment, they do not have clinical signs of disease, and in feet they suffer most from toxicity of antineoplastic drugs. Aim of Research Is to evaluate importance and efficiency of prompt and universal information on emetogenous influence of antineoplastic drugs, as well as influence of nausea and vomiting of psychophysical state of women patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy by FAC protocol with application of single Ondansetron dose. The most common diagnoses in health care we could make on the basis of collected data, objective state and subjective observation were: 1. Lack of knowledge concerning forthcoming treatment, 2. Anxiety—psychological disturbance, 3. Fear—feeling of imperilness and 4. Inability of adaptation to present state of health. Evaluating nurses’ diagnoses i.e. replies of women patients to given psychological support, we conclude that successful cooperation was realized concerning acceptance and endurance of women patients in therapy treatment.
