Abstract
Objective: To determine the rate and extent of injure to the gastrointestinal disoders in patient treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. To evaluate the results of nursing care for these patients. Subject and method: 27 patients at the Center for Hematopoietic Stem cell transplantation at 108 Military Central Hospital from January 2014 to April 2022. Retrospective, cross-sectional descriptive study. Result: 25/27 patients suffered from oral mucositis. 33.3% of patients had most seveer grade 3 mucositis. 100% of patients suffered from nausea and vomiting, of which 33.3% patients had vomiting level 1, 29.6% patients had vomiting level 2 and 37.0% patients were level 3. All of patients had diarrhea, with 14.8% grade 1, 44.4% grade 2, 40.7% grade 3, respectively. Cryotherapy reduced level of mucositis and diarrhea but not influenced nausea and vomiting. Conclusion: Injury of gastrointestinal tract is complication seen in most of stem cell transplant patients. The nursing care is important for the prevention, early detection and mitigation of transplant complications.
