Abstract
A descriptive study was done to assess the risk of complications associated with febrile neutropenia among patients undergoing chemotherapy using MASCC risk index in a selected hospital, Pathnamthitta. The objectives of the study were to assess the risk of complications associated with febrile neutropenia among patients undergoing chemotherapy and to find out the association between the risk of complications associated with febrile neutropenia and the selected baseline variables of the patients undergoing chemotherapy. Descriptive research design was used for the present study. Health promotion model by Nola. J. Pender was used as the conceptual framework for the study. The study was done among 30 patients. The samples were selected using non probability purposive sampling technique. Baseline data assessment proforma and MASCC risk index score were used as the tools for data collection. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. The study identified 56.7% of the samples as high risk group and 43.3% as low risk group. Significant association was found between the MASCC risk index score with type of cancer and history of prior stem cells or bone marrow transplantation. The study concluded that majority of the samples were belong to high risk. This shows patients undergoing chemotherapy have a greater risk for developing complications associated with febrile neutropenia and prompt monitoring is required. MASCC risk index is a reliable tool for assessing the risk of complications among chemotherapy patients.
