A Quasi-Experimental Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Hot Water Footbath Therapy on Quality of Sleep among Cancer Patients

Hot water footbath therapy effectively improved sleep quality among cancer patients despite varied responses within the experimental group. Integrating footbath therapy into cancer care regimens is recommended to alleviate sleep disturbances and enhance overall well-being during chemotherapy. Further research should explore additional nonpharmacological interventions to alleviate the challenges faced by cancer patients, aiming to optimize their quality of life.

Abstract

Hot water footbath therapy effectively improved sleep quality among cancer patients despite varied responses within the experimental group. Integrating footbath therapy into cancer care regimens is recommended to alleviate sleep disturbances and enhance overall well-being during chemotherapy. Further research should explore additional nonpharmacological interventions to alleviate the challenges faced by cancer patients, aiming to optimize their quality of life.
