Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence and self care practice for nausea/vomiting in patients with cancer during chemotherapy. Method: The participants were 100 patients with cancer over 20 years of age who visited the outpatient department or were hospitalized for chemotherapy Self care in the case of nausea and vomiting was measured by the Dodd's scale. Data were analyzed using the SAS program and the following statistics were used frequency, percentage, unpaired t test, and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: The ratio of the occurrence of nausea/ vomiting in the participants was 70.0%. The incidence of nausea/ vomiting was significantly higher for women than for men. The incidence of nausea/ vomiting was also higher for patients with cancer not in the gastro-intestinal system (GIS) compared to that for patients with GIS cancer. The incidence of nausea/ vomiting positively correlated with anorexia, skin injury, and fatigue. Conclusion: The ratio of occurrence of nausea/ vomiting for the participants was 70.0%. The incidence of nausea/ vomiting was higher fur women and patients with cancer not in the GIS. The incidence of nausea/ vomiting positively correlated with anorexia, skin injury, and fatigue. The results indicate that nausea/vomiting is a frequent symptom, particularly in women and there is a need to provide interventions to decrease the effects of this symptom.

VR 기술이란 HMD(Head Mounted Display)기기를 착용하여 사용자로 하여금 가상 현실(Virtual Reality)을 실제와 가깝게 경험하게 하는 기술이다. 최근 4차 산업혁명으로 VR 기술에 대한 관심이 커짐에 따라 다양한 HMD 기기가 보급되고 있다. 이로써 VR 기술은 다양한 분야에 급속히 접목되고 있으나, 아직 다수가 VR 활용 시 어지럼증과 멀미를 경험하는 실정이다. 사이버 멀미는 차멀미, 뱃멀미, 비행멀미 등의 일반적인 멀미와 달리 주로 시각적 요소에 의해 발생한다. 이러한 사이버 멀미의 발생은 VR 영상 콘텐츠의 시각적 정보의 특성, 외부 시야를 차단하는 HMD 기기의 하드웨어적 특성 또는 개개인의 신체 특이성에 따라 복합적으로 나타날 수 있어 원인을 구별하기 어렵다. 이에 본 논문에서는 사이버 멀미의 발생 원인인 VR 영상 콘텐츠를 중점으로 VIMS(Visually Induced Motion Nausea)영상의 특성을 분석하며, 어지럼증 유발 원인을 분석하고자 한다.

In cancer patients showing nausea and vomiting, a number of factors can be considered as the cause including brain tumor, electrolyte imbalance, gastrointestinal diseases or types of chemotherapy agents and dose of the drugs. Though nausea and vomiting can be minimized through the use of various anti-emetic drugs, many people still suffer from severe nausea and vomiting with poor quality of life compared with patients who do not show significant nausea and vomiting. In this report, we introduce a case of a cancer patient who suffered from severe nausea and vomiting. The patient was female and 59 years old with NSCLC (non small cell lung cancer) with metastatic brain tumor. Though western conventional medical treatment was used to reduce the symptoms, persistent nausea and vomiting were noted during the admission period. Herbal decoction Gamibokryungbanha-tang was used for nausea and vomiting which were uncontrolled under conventional western medicine; the patient showed remarkable improvement in terms of frequency and severity of nausea and vomiting. Further study will be needed in order to determine the long-term effectiveness of oriental medical treatment on cancer patient with nausea and vomiting.

The purpose of this study was to measure the effects of food neophobia, nausea, and learned food aversion on food rejection and appetite. A total of 250 questionnaires were completed. Path analytic model was used to measure the relationships between variables. Results of the study demonstrated that the path analysis result for the data also indicated excellent model fit. The effects of food neophobia on nausea and food rejection were statistically significant. The effect of food neophobia on learned food aversion and appetite was not statistically significant. As expected, nausea had a significant effects on learned food aversion and appetite. Moreover, nausea played a perfect mediating role in the relationship between food neophobia and appetite. Nausea played a perfect mediating role in the relationship between food neophobia and learned food aversion. Learned food aversion played a partial mediating role in the relationship between nausea and appetite. Learned food aversion did not play a mediating role in the relationship between food neophobia and appetite. In conclusion, based on path analyses, a model was proposed of interrelations between variables. It should be noted that the original model was modified and should, preferably, be validated in future research.

Background: The patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are known to have a high incidence of breakthrough nausea and vomiting due to the conditioning regimen. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the adequacy of antiemetic therapy for breakthrough nausea and vomiting in patients receiving HSCT and to propose an effective treatment regimen. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of 109 adult patients. The collected data were used to identify (1) antiemetic and dosing regimens prescribed for controlling breakthrough nausea and vomiting, (2) the rate of patients who developed breakthrough nausea and vomiting, and (3) the percent of antiemetics prescribed on the day of symptom onset. Based on the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guideline, we assessed the suitability of antiemetics for breakthrough nausea and vomiting, and prescription timing. Results: All patients were prescribed pro re nata antiemetics. About 40.0%, 41.4%, and 18.6% of patients were using one, two, and three or more additional drugs for breakthrough nausea and vomiting, respectively. The most frequently administered drugs were intravenous metoclopramide (43.8%) and granisetron patch (36.2%). Breakthrough nausea and vomiting occurred in 87 patients (79.1%) and they developed symptoms 320 cases. About 220 cases (68.8%) were treated with additional antiemetics on the day of symptom onset and the rate of symptom resolution was only 10.3% (9 patients). Conclusion: The breakthrough nausea and vomiting in patients receiving HSCT occurred very frequently and was hard to control, thus requiring more rapid and aggressive treatments.
