Abstract：Objective:The effect of different traditional Chinese medical nursing measures for the prevention and treatment of nausea and vomiting in breast cancer chemotherapy patients was evaluated and compared by network Meta-analysis.Methods:Randomized control trials(RCTs)about the traditional Chinese medical nursing measures to alleviate nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy in breast cancer patients were retrieved from Embase,PubMed,Web of Science,the Cochrane Library,CINAHL,CNKI and other databases.The retrieval time was from inception to May 30 in 2023.After literature screening,quality appraisal and data extraction,the network Meta-analysis was performed using STATA 17.0 and ADDIS 1.16.6 software.Results:A total of 20 articles involving 11 traditional Chinese medical nursing interventions,including 1 939 patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy,were included in this study.The results of network Meta-analysis showed that among the five single traditional Chinese medical nursing interventions,inhaled aromatherapy had the best effect in alleviating chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting(CINV)in breast cancer chemotherapy patients,with a probability of 93.2％.Among the six combined traditional Chinese medical nursing measures,acupoint application combined with emotional care had the best effect,with a probability of 92.9％.Conclusions:Current evidences were suggested that inhaled aromatherapy and acupoint application combined with emotional care can improve nausea and vomiting in breast cancer chemotherapy patients,and their application could be prioritized.
