Popis: Background: Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) is dose dependent nerve damaging adverse reaction with prevalence rate of 68.1% at the 1st month; 60.0 % at the 3rd month; and 30% at the 6th month of chemotherapy. Objective: to determine the effectiveness of an Intervention (Effleurage and Petrissage) on severity of CIPN among patients receiving chemotherapy Methods: 60 patients either having third or fourth cycle of platinum based chemotherapy were subjected to quantitative approch. Random assignment were used among two groups with a pre- and post-test design. Interventional group received effleurage and petrissage prior to chemotherapy for a period of one month and comparison of CIPN level among both groups were done at 7th, 14th, 21st day & 1st month by using FACT/GOG-Ntx subscale. Results: Pretest Mean+SD of CIPN in Intervention (17.17+4.907) and in Conventional care (17.10+ 4.421) group at t valve .055 and p value .956NS as measured by FACT/GOG-Ntx subscale. Posttest Mean+SD of CIPN in intervention (10.70±2.855) and conventional care (16.27±3.039) group after receiving effleurage and petrissage for one month at p value 0.000*. Conclusions: Study concludes that Intervention (Effleurage and Petrissage) is effective, lucrative for decline in CIPN level among patients.
