Abstract:

The retrieval period was from the establishment of database to November 30, 2021. The quality of included studies was assessed using the evaluation tool of JBI Evidence-Based Health Care Centre Australia. The results were synthesized by the integrating method.Results:A total of 13 studies were included, 45 results were extracted, 13 categories were classified, and 6 integrated results were synthesized: patients and medical staff often ignore chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuritis; the signs of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy are complex and difficult to be accurately described; patients' complex emotional experience; chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy seriously affects patients' quality of life; patients cope with their illness in a variety of ways; patients long for professional guidance and social support.Conclusions:Medical staff should pay more attention to chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, pay attention to patients' negative emotions and provide professional guidance, strengthen the social support system and rebuild patients' confidence in treatment.
