| Research Abstract |
The authors planned three studies to provide effective oral care for recovery of dysgeusia experienced by patients receiving cancer chemotherapy. The studies are 1. National survey on taste recovery care and education of self care to patients and families, 2. Basic study on gargling with water containing lemon juice for recovery from dysgeusia and 3. Effects of gargling with soda water containing 10 % lemon juice for cancer chemotherapy patients with dysgeusia.
In the national hospital survey, 634 replies were (63 % response) returned with 568 valid replies analyzed. It was found that self care education for recovery from dysgeusia was provided in 58.6 %. Gargling was performed in 27.5 %. Lemon water was most commonly used as gargling solutions without any scientific evidence.
The authors, therefore, decided to perform basic studies on the concentrations and the types of gargling water with lemon juice using such indices as saliva secretion, taste threshold and comfort level. The experiment was repeated twice, showing soda water with 10 % lemon juice was good in all indices of saliva secretion, taste threshold and comfort level.
To validate the effectiveness of lemon soda gargling on dysgeusia of cancer chemotherapy patients, we designed the study to elucidate the effects of 10 % lemon soda for malignant lymphoma patients. In the study plan, the intervention schedule, items, tooth brushing instruction to prevent oral complications, oral cryotherapy, description for patients and educational materials were described.
