This study aims to evaluate the effect of foot reflexology on chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in breast cancer patients. Nausea and vomiting are common side effects of chemotherapy and can negatively affect patients' comfort and quality of life. Foot reflexology is a non-invasive complementary therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet. The study will compare patients who receive foot reflexology along with standard care to those who receive standard care alone, to determine whether foot reflexology helps reduce the severity of nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy.

Foot Reflexology
Other interventionFoot reflexology is a complementary therapy involving the application of pressure to specific reflex points on the feet associated with nausea, vomiting, relaxation, and digestion. The intervention will be administered by the researcher for 20-30 minutes during chemotherapy sessions using a standardized technique.
Severity of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting
The severity of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting will be assessed using the Rhodes Index of Nausea, Vomiting and Retching (RINVR), a validated scale measuring the frequency, severity, and distress of nausea and vomiting. Scores range from low to high, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms. Measurements will be recorded before and after the intervention during each chemotherapy cycle.
