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.
