Abstract: | ABSTRACT newlineIntroduction: There is a growing concern regarding self-care and chemotherapy side effects. The present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of self-care measures on knowledge, self-efficacy, and performance status among cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. newlineMethods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted in Dr. Kamatchi Memorial Hospital, India. Using purposive sampling technique, 200 cancer patients were selected. Patients were interviewed using semi-structured knowledge questionnaires, Modified Stanford Patient Education Research Center Self-efficacy scale, deliberate self-efficacy with rating scale under four subheadings, and ECOG Performance Status Scale with 5 point grading scale i.e., dead to fully active. newlineResults: There was adequate knowledge (95%) on self-care measures after the intervention. The mean score was significant, i.e., 21.33 (2.25), which had difference between post-knowledge score in experimental and control was statistically significant at Plt0.001 level. The majority of patients reported high self-efficacy level (t = 198.60, Plt0.001). In addition, despite self- efficacy and knowledge the performance status observed at each cycle i.e 4 cycles had mean score of t = 32.13, Plt0.001 showed high level of performance status. newlineConclusion: The study revealed that the self care measures during each cycle had improved the self-efficacy and performance status to high level, which in turn reduced the side effects of chemotherapy to certain level. newline |
