ABSTRACT
The given project is based on the aim of analysing the side effects of chemotherapy treatment
among cancer patients. It includes the important clinical method of chemotherapy which is
generally used by care professionals in order to treat the complicated condition of clients for
making them disease free. However, it includes the analysis of different types of chemo drugs
which should be used specifically for particular patient body which is suitable for them. It consist
the criterion of implementing appropriate care plan related to chemotherapy in terms of
providing appropriate care facility which provide support to encourage recovery rate for
improving better health condition of patient. In addition to this, the use of qualitative research
method has been done by considering descriptive research design in order to conduct the study in
effective manner. It includes the use of secondary sources of data collection in terms of carrying
effective literature review as well as discussion of findings. Meanwhile, the inclusion criterion
consists to utilise the research papers published recently to maintain accuracy of collected data
and findings respectively. In contrary to this, the exclusion criterion for this investigation is to
avoid past research papers to maintain authenticity of gathered information and respective
outcomes of the study. Moreover, it has been founded that appropriate frameworks should be
used for providing effective chemotherapies which helps to avoid complications by providing
healthy environment to client for making them completely.

CHAPTER 1
Introduction and background
1.0 Introduction
Chemotherapy refers to a kind of drug treatment in which powerful chemicals are used kill fast
growing cells in human body. It includes the criterion of providing heavy dose and powerful
drugs in order to damage the cancerous cells developed in specific organ of body. Basically,
chemotherapy is used for cancer patients when it becomes extremely critical to kill cancer cells
which facilitate to improve health condition of an individual (Duregon and et. al., 2018). It has
been analysed that chemotherapy treatment can be considered as a complicated treatment process
in which patient face problems and several side effects. Meanwhile, it is observed that cancerous
cells has potential property of dividing more quickly and increase their populations in human
body. It includes the fact that treatment of chemotherapy is responsible to be applicable after
specific stage of cancer in terms of making an individual to become wellbeing. However, it is
observed that actual chemotherapy treatment is generally painless but some of drugs used in this
treatment are accountable for developing nursing slightly when they entre in veins of particular
patient. It is necessary for physicians to diagnose the actual condition of an individual before
making decision of providing chemotherapy treatment to destroy cancer cells for their wellness
respectively.
1.1 Problem statement
“To analyse the side effects of chemotherapy treatment among cancer patients.”
The investigation related to treatment of chemotherapy for evaluating it side effects is important
to find its facts and figures to make appropriate techniques for reducing the same. It is observed
that chemotherapy is used for treatment the problem of cancer at critical stage due to which
chemotherapy is required for an individual wellbeing (Zhang and Guo, 2016). However, it is
necessary to analyse the side effects related to chemotherapies among cancer patients to which
effective strategies can be developed for reducing these adverse impacts. Moreover, it includes to
focus on side effect so chemotherapies for creating effective as well as efficient clinical
techniques to improve their satisfaction regarding treatment.

1.2 Eclipse framework
In context of this project, the eclipse framework includes the use of model in order to define
research problems along with target population and intervention with respective outcomes. It
includes the use of PICO model in order to carry out investigation in selected research problems
including effective interventions. However, it is observed that chemotherapy is used for
treatment critical stage of cancer for damaging cancerous cells which facilitate improve their
wellbeing (Anandavadivelan and et. al., 2016). It is necessary for physicians and care providers
to diagnose properly in terms of making appropriate decision of treatment for welfare of
individual. Moreover, the chemotherapy is known to be a complex clinical procedure which is
only used when cancer stage is complicated.

patients.
To examine the different types of chemotherapy drugs and medicinal product among
cancer patients in the healthcare organisation.
To determine the various side effects of chemotherapies among cancer patients.

The given investigation is based on the healthcare sector including care organisation known for
its specialist treatment for cancer patients. These organisations are helpful for providing services
to people suffering from cancer for their better health condition (Hurvitz and et. al., 2018).
However, it has been analysed that the different healthcare organisations has the criterion of
providing care services to all individuals having problem cancers including inpatients and
outpatients. It includes specific treatment procedures and activities for providing more effective
as well as efficient care services for making cancer patient healthy as soon as possible. It
includes effective roles and responsibilities of care professional who put efforts with proper
focus to treat the condition of cancer in respect of improving health condition of them. They
provide an appropriate treatment for specific cancer for making patients disease free
respectively. This investigation will focus on knowledge about cancer and chemotherapies along

provide an appropriate treatment for specific cancer for making patients disease free
respectively. This investigation will focus on knowledge about cancer and chemotherapies along
4
with need of chemotherapy for cancer patients. It will also include the different kind of cancers
and specific stage when chemotherapy is required along with types of drugs used in this process.
The various side effects of chemotherapies among cancer patients are given below.
1.7 Simulation approaches and types
Simulation can be defined as a method in which construction of an artificial environment occurs
within which relevant data be developed for gaining desired outcomes. It includes number of
steps which are required to be followed for using simulation method that are given here. Initially,
it includes the criterion to decide on the purpose of simulation and what performance metrics
requires monitoring. Secondly, it involves the practice of formulating a first pass simulation
respectively (Escalante and et. al., 2017). Thirdly, it consists to calibrate the simulation and
measure its performance to behaviour of existing layout of research. Meanwhile, it includes the
analysis of the results as well as selects the best alternative for use. However, the final step
involves the criterion of sharing the simulation formulated of own study. Moreover, the
simulation involves considering several elements such as business relevance, learning
application, collective decision making, diversity & ambiguity and job & personal relevance.
1.8 Justification
In context of this project, it has been justified that use of chemotherapy in order to identify
various side effects of chemotherapy on cancer patients. It includes the criterion of using the
chemotherapy in order to treat the complicated cancer problem for making patient wellbeing.
However, it includes the analyse the side effects of chemotherapies are required to be identified
along with respective stage of cancer and types of cancer occurs among people. Moreover, it
consist the evaluation of drugs used in chemotherapy which has side effects on human body.
1.9 Need of the study
In respect of this investigation, it will focus on the analysis of chemotherapy and side to gain
more detailed knowledge about the same for gaining accurate. It is required to evaluate the
utilisation of different types of drugs which are extremely powerful to kill cancerous cells for
treating the problem of cancer. However, it has been analysed that investigation should be
carrying out for analysing use of various drugs and their respective side effects that are observed
among patients. Moreover, it includes the requirement of identifying the use of some of drugs
which has less side effects on human body.
