<![CDATA[Introduction: Breast cancer patients frequently experience nausea and anxiety during treatment, which may reduce comfort and quality of life. Reflexology is a complementary non-pharmacological therapy that may help manage these symptoms. This study aimed to review the effectiveness of reflexology in reducing nausea and anxiety among breast cancer patients. Methods: A systematic review was conducted by searching scientific publications published between 2018 and 2023 through international electronic databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Elsevier, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. Articles were selected based on their relevance to reflexology interventions among breast cancer patients. Results: The search identified ten randomized controlled trial (RCT) articles that met the inclusion criteria. All studies reported positive outcomes following reflexology intervention. Reflexology was found to help reduce nausea and anxiety among breast cancer patients, suggesting its potential to improve patients’ comfort and psychological well-being during cancer treatment. Conclusion: Reflexology demonstrates potential as a complementary therapy for reducing nausea and anxiety among breast cancer patients. It may serve as a supportive approach alongside conventional cancer care. Further studies involving larger samples, standardized intervention protocols, and consistent outcome measurements are needed to strengthen the evidence regarding the effectiveness of reflexology in breast cancer care.]]>
