Results Compared with the control group,severity of nausea and vomiting in the observation group significantly reduced,with a significant difference( P < 0. 05). Incidence of gastrointestinal reaction during different chemotherapy cycles reduced significantly in the observation group compared with the control group,with significant differences between the two groups( P < 0. 05). Scores of physical function,role function,cognitive function,emotional function and social function significantly reduced in the observation group compared with the control group with significant differences between the two groups( P < 0. 05).
