摘要
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is an unpleasant symptom experienced by most cancer survivors who receive neurotoxic chemotherapy. It is not life threatening; however, it impairs sensorimotor skills, thereby interfering with daily activities and reducing the quality of life. Healthcare providers are becoming increasingly aware of the significance of its management. Nonetheless, a lack of understanding remains. This study aimed to understand the experience of cancer survivors with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.The selection and search for relevant literature conformed to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols guidelines. Four databases were searched for literature exploring the experiences of cancer survivors with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Moreover, articles from reference lists were retrieved. Of 969 collected articles, 13 qualitative studies were included. The seven-step meta-ethnography developed by Noblits and Hare was used to analyze and synthesize selected studies. This study complied with the enhancing transparency in reporting the synthesis of qualitative research guidelines.Three themes ("Tough and challenging life with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy," "Being patient in a chaotic life," and "Transition to a new way of life") and six subthemes were derived after reviewing, analyzing, and synthesizing selected study findings. They faced difficult daily challenges and endured psychologically chaotic moments; however, they gradually learned to live with the symptoms and adapted their way of life.This review emphasizes the importance of the need for personalized nursing interventions promoting self-management and new adaptation strategies for gaining better understanding of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.
