Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy : Nursing Implications

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is an unsolved and potentially life-compromising problem for most patients receiving neurotoxic chemotherapy. It manifests with numbness, tingling, and possibly neuropathic pain and motor and autonomic symptoms. This review aims to provide an evidence synthesis that prepares nurses to comprehensively assess, provide supportive care for, and critically evaluate the literature on CIPN. The prevalence, significance, characteristics, mechanisms, and risk factors of CIPN will be discussed, as well as nursing-relevant evidence on the assessment, prevention, and management of CIPN. The importance of critical literature evaluation before clinical implementation to reduce physical and financial harms to patients will also be highlighted.
