• W3137657617 abstract "Oral mucositis is the painful inflammation and ulceration of the oral mucosa, usually as an adverse effect of radiation therapy. It is a major health problem and it can cause life style changes and there by it alters the quality of life of the patients with head and neck cancer under going radiation therapy. As a complementary alternative therapy apitherapy is given to the patients to improve the anatomical andfunctional abilities, there by improving the quality of the life of the head and neck cancer patients under going radiation therapy.So the present study was done to evaluate the effectiveness of apitherapy in reducing oral mucositis among head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy in Erode Cancer Center and Human Care Global (HCG) Cancer Center at Erode.The research design used for this study was quasi experimental design Non equivalent control group post test only design. Conceptual frame work adopted in the present study was modified Wiedenbach’s - helping art of clinical nursing theory (1969). The sample size was 60 head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy among 60head and neck cancer patients 30 for experimental group and 30 for control group. The samples were selected by purposive sampling method. In experimental group before 15 minutes of radiation therapy, 20ml of pure honey (apitherapy) was orally given to the patients to swish 20 ml of honey for 5 minutes then swallow it, again after 15 minutes of radiation therapy 20ml of pure honey (apitherapy) was orally given to the patients, ask the patient to swish 20 ml of honey for5 minutes then swallow it, and advised the patient to repeat the same in their homes after six hours of radiation therapy. Apitherapy given daily from first day of 2nd phase of radiation therapy to last day of 3rd phase of radiation therapy(on 36th day)[about 14 days]. Where as in control group patients were treated as per hospital schedule. The post test done by using WCCNR oral mucositis scale was used to assess the anatomical alterations and observational checklist was used to assess the functional abilities after apitherapy among head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy.The present study revealed that the post test mean score ofexperimental group was 4(SD ± 1.74) and the control group mean score was 9(SD ±3.01). The “t” value is 7.93 is greater than the table value (1.96) which is significant at 0.05 level which showed that there is a significant difference between the degree of oral mucositis among head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy in experimental group and control group.The study revealed that apitherapy technique was highlyeffective in reducing degree of oral mucositis among head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. Thus apitherapy technique played an important role in reducing degree of oral mucositis among head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy." @default.
