This quasi-experimental research study had pre- and post-tests control groups. The estimated sample size was at least 20 subjects per group. Data were collected in the chest diseases clinic and outpatient chemotherapy unit of a university hospital in Turkey. An education booklet and structured education were given 30 mins for each patient before chemotherapy. In post-test 1, nausea severity was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (mean difference - 2.50, 95% CI - 1.46 to - 0.17,d = 0.82,p = 0.05). This was also the case in post-test 2 (mean difference - 2.10, 95% CI - 1.50 to - 0.21,d = 0.85,p = 0.01). According to this, the sizes of Cohen'sdeffect were large (0.82 and 0.85 for post-test 1 and post-test 2 respectively). However, vomiting frequency did not differ significantly between the experimental group and the control group in either post-test 1 or post-test 2 (p > 0.05). Structured education given by nurses had a positive effect on the severity of nausea. Nurses may be able to raise nausea management in cancer patients to a better level by education intervention.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessChemotherapyNauseaPatient EducationVomitingArticle10.1007/s13187-019-01531-4354788795310375052-s2.0-85065164378Q2WOS:000548657400023Q3
