摘要：
为了解乳腺癌接受化疗的妇女口味和嗅觉改变（TSAs）及其与生活质量的关系，进行了一项描述性相关研究。通过在线调查收集了121名接受化疗的乳腺癌患者的数据。使用"口味和嗅觉调查表"测量了TSAs，使用"癌症治疗功能评估-乳腺癌"量表测量了生活质量。超过一半的参与者经历了严重的TSAs。在化疗开始后，最持久的口味是苦味，而且参与者在开始化疗后比之前更强烈地感受到它。TSAs越严重，整体生活质量就越低，尤其是身体和功能方面的福祉。护士应密切关注接受化疗的癌症患者是否经历了TSAs。建议教育这一群体中的女性避免苦味食物和强烈气味的食物。在治疗前提供有关TSAs的信息可以帮助癌症患者应对。
To understand taste and smell alterations (TSAs) and their relationship with quality of life among women with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy.A descriptive correlational study was conducted with 121 women with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy, and data were collected through an online survey.The Taste and Smell Survey was used to measure TSAs, and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast was used to measure quality of life.More than half of the participants experienced severe TSAs. The longest-lasting taste after the start of chemotherapy was a bitter taste, and participants experienced it more strongly after starting chemotherapy than before. The more severe the TSAs, the lower the overall quality of life, particularly physical well-being and functional well-being.Nurses should be vigilant about whether people with cancer receiving chemotherapy are experiencing TSAs. It is recommended to educate women in this population about avoiding bitter foods and foods with strong smells. Providing information about TSAs before treatment can help people with cancer cope.
