Abstract
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: A Quasi experimental study to assess the effectiveness of sodium bicarbonate mouth wash in reducing oral mucositis among oral cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy in C.S.I mission hospital at neyyoor. OBJECTIVES: To assess the level of oral mucositis before and after administration of sodium bicarbonate mouth wash among oral cancer patients in experimental and control group. To compare the effectiveness of sodium bicarbonate solution with existing practices in reducing oral mucositis among oral cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy in experimental and control group. To determine the association between post interventional levels of oral mucositis among oral cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy with selected socio demographic variables and clinical variables. RESULT AND SUMMARY: In experimental group, the mean post test score was 1.433 with standard deviation 1.145 where as in control group the mean post test was 1.166 with standard deviation of 0.933.The obtained t-test value was 2.52 and the p value was 0.02.Hence the research hypotheses H1 was accepted and it was inferred that sodium bicarbonate mouth wash was effective in reducing oral mucositis. There was a significant association between post interventional level of oral mucositis and selected socio demographic variables and clinical variables in experimental group and control group CONCLUSION: The study concluded that sodium bicarbonate mouth was effective in reducing oral mucositis among oral cancer patients who received radiation therapy.
