Virtual Support, Real Impact: Effectiveness of Tele-nursing in Alleviating Chemotherapy Symptoms Among Cancer Patients

The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a tele-nursing educational program in managing chemotherapy-related and cancer-related symptoms and improving the quality of life among adult cancer patients. Conducted at the Oncology Center at Mansoura University Hospital in Egypt, the study recruited 74 participants who completed structured interviews detailing their demographics, medical history, symptom severity (using the MDASI-A tool), and quality of life (using the QOL-ACD tool). The intervention, delivered via a Telegram group, included weekly educational sessions focused on managing chemotherapy symptoms. The sessions featured educational content and feedback, with outcomes measured through changes in symptom severity and quality of life scores before and after the intervention. This approach highlighted the program's potential to enhance patients' overall well-being and symptom management.
