The symptom experience of mucositis, stomatitis, and xerostomia
Abstract
Objective: To provide an overview of mucositis, stomatitis, and xerostomia, the symptom experience, risk factors, current therapies, nursing interventions, and implications for practice, research, and education.
Data sources: Published articles pertaining to mucositis, stomatitis, and xerostomia.
Conclusions: Complete and consistent assessment of the oral cavity are needed. Frequent and meticulous oral care remains an important factor in preventing the development of or reducing the severity of oral mucositis, stomatitis, and xerostomia. Additional research of these symptoms is needed.
Implications for nursing practice: Oncology nurses can perform an essential role in promoting oral hygiene and optimal status of the oral cavity during cancer and its treatment.
