Abstract:

Objective To retrieve，evaluate and summarize the best-quality evidence on traditional Chinese medicine nursing for patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema. Methods According to the “6S” model，we used an evidence-based nursing method to retrieve relevant literature. The literature included guidelines，expert consensuses，evidence summaries，clinical decisions，systematic reviews，meta-analyses and original researches. Selected publications were from the earliest date in the database to April 30，2023. There were 2 researchers who evaluated the quality of literature and extracted and integrated evidence from the included articles. Results In total，13 publications were included，involving 3 sets of guidelines，3 expert consensuses，3 evidence summaries，4 systematic reviews. Ultimately，we summarized 16 pieces of the best-quality evidence on the etiology and evaluation of edema，external application of traditional Chinese medicine，traditional Chinese medicine fumigation and washing，moxibustion，acupressure point massage，traditional Chinese medicine diet nursing，and sports guidance. Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine nursing is an effective treatment for patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema and does not have adverse reactions. However，as the quality of methodology in this study might be not too high，this conclusion may need to be further confirmed by high-quality randomized controlled trials.

摘要：

目的 检索、评价和总结乳腺癌相关淋巴水肿患者中医护理的最佳证据，为临床护理实践提供参考。方法 按照“6S”模型检索相关文献，包括指南、专家共识、证据总结、临床决策、系统评价、Meta分析，检索时限为建库至2023年4月。由2名研究者对文献质量进行评价，并对证据进行提取、整合。结果 共纳入13篇文献。其中3篇指南，3篇专家共识，3篇证据总结，4篇系统评价。从水肿病因及评估、中药外敷、中药熏洗、艾灸、穴位按摩、运动指导等6个方面汇总了16条最佳证据。结论 中医护理是治疗乳腺癌相关淋巴水肿的有效方法，且无不良反应，但由于纳入文献的方法学质量不高，该结论需要高质量随机对照试验进一步证实。
