NURS 3046 Nursing Project: Honey in Oral Mucositis Management

This nursing project investigates the use of honey in treating oral mucositis, a common side effect of chemotherapy and radiation therapy in cancer patients. The project analyzes four primary research articles focusing on the implementation and dissemination of honey as a treatment, highlighting its antimicrobial properties and potential to promote cell and tissue growth. Gaps in research, particularly concerning inclusion and exclusion criteria in randomized controlled trials, are identified. Recommendations suggest comparing honey treatment to standard treatments like silver sulphadiazine to develop novel therapeutics. The project also explores how learning from nursing projects can influence the clinical practice of newly qualified registered nurses, emphasizing the importance of continuous learning, professional development, and skill improvement in healthcare environments. The project concludes that understanding academic requirements, time management, and commitment are crucial for successful nursing practice.

NURSING PROJECT
INTRODUCTION
Oral mucositis is defined as the common side effect
which is occur due the chemotherapy or by
radiation for the number of patient. There are some
of range which show prevalence from 20 percent to
49 percent. In this, there are risk which is associated
with patient which include advance age and
treatment factor which is include carcinoma site and
dose of therapy which is required for the patient
(Khanjani pour-fard-pachekenari and et. al., 2019).
BACKGROUND
As per the previous study, it is evaluated that the
property of honey have some of the scope of
antimicrobial. In this, the major properties which is
help together to create the optimal environment for
cell and tissue growth. As per the studies, this is
analyse that there are vast range of effect which is
examined during the study of honey which provide
knowledge regards with the promotion of healing of
oral mucositis among the cancer patient (Geetha
and et. al., 2019).
GAPS
The inclusion and exclusion is usually based on
RCT which help to inclusion and article carry
exclusion which do not follow RCT. The target
population for this report is cancer patient. The
major identification of the gaps is determine in
the outcomes which is analyse after the
completion of study (Mathew and et. al., 2017).
Article 4
This article have a particular aspect
of role which is based on honey and they
configure that the minimisation of pain as per
the use of honey in the radiation-induced
mucositis in head and neck cancer patient. The
study have a simple basis which is based on the
effect or the role of honey which is analyse by
using the RCT which is called randomized
controlled trail which have key pointer to
evaluate the effectiveness (Troeman and et. al.,
2019).
IMPLEMENT AND DISSEMINATE
Article 1
Cancer is rising now day and they have
create issue with the health with number of patient.
As per this, the first article which is based on the
effect of topical application of pure honey in
chemo-radiation-induced mucositis and widely they
used to provide the effective adaptability towards
the improvement of life in patient of oral squamous
cell carcinoma. In this, the article used to kept the
focus on effects which is positive while applying
the honey in chemo-radiation-induced mucositis
(Kusiak and et. al., 2020).
Article 2
This article is completely based in
aspect of radiation-induced oral mucositis which
implement and show the disseminate that have main
effect which is occur during and after the treatment
of head and neck which is associated with the
cancer patients.
Article 3
The implement and disseminate which
is associated with this article majorly focus on the
quantitative and experimental research design
which is associated with RCT that is based on the
active manuka honey and standard oral care for
radiation induced oral mucositis.
RECOMMENDATION
There are various study which used to show the
study while comparing treatment of silver
sulphadiazine, this is act as standard treatment
for the burn victim. This help to develop the
basis of novel therapeutics for patient with
cancer and cancer related tumours. They usually
show that they have chemotactic induction for
the neutrophils and reactive oxygen ROS which

PART B: Learning from Nursing Project can influence the clinical practice of a
newly qualified Registered Nurse
The nursing project provide the essential aspect which is associated with the learning and developing new knowledge. As per this, the project that
combine with the nursing provide the aspect of understanding the change which is associated with the healthcare environment. Moreover, the learning
play a vital role in their professional development, job satisfaction which have some of the continuous improvement which is accessible for patient
care. They have actively seek to develop orientation which is based on social learning which include exchanging, sharing and confirming the
knowledge with the co worker in the various aspect of uncertainty. When they are seeking with the work which is based on the factor which influence
the development such as staff training and development, professional relationship, nursing shortage and so on provide the core aspect for which help to
built effective clinical practice when they are correlated with the qualified nurse.
While accomplish new achievement which is based on project provide knowledge and new depth of thinking which is based on the
behaviour of clinical and working process and operation. In this, the project nursing help to provide the opportunity to improve their technical nursing
skill which help in dealing with error in their work. Moreover, with the prior time this is also create understanding which provide the aspect which help
to shape the qualified nursing while achieving and completing the project. The preparations and knowledge is defined as the key element for the
successful qualified nurse which is associated with learning and developing new technical knowledge and skill which play beneficial role for the future.
Understanding the need and requirements of academic, time management and commitment and navigating is part of challenging obligation which learn
during pursuing nursing project.
