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.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
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.

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.
