dc.description.abstractPurpose: We aimed to investigate the compliance of Turkish Medical Oncologists to antiemetic guidelines for treatment of acute and delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in patients receiving high (HEC), moderate (MEC), and low (LEC) emetogenic chemotherapy. Method: A covering electronic mail letter with an online questionnaire link was sent to e-mail and mobile application groups including all 599 members of the Turkish Society of Medical Oncology in January 2018. The online survey has consisted of twelve questions. Results: Questionnaire form was responded by 146 of Turkish Medical Oncologists. The most of the participants were following up more than one antiemetic guideline (53%). While compliance with the antiemetic guidelines was higher in acute CINV prophylaxis for HEC and MEC, it was significantly lower in the delayed CINV treatment of HEC and LEC. The highest and lowest compliance rate was found in the prophylaxis of acute and delayed CINV of HEC (92% and 15%, respectively). The incidence of noncompliance for delayed CINV in HEC was statistically significantly higher in those who worked for <= five years in an oncology department, under 39 years of age, and non-academicians (p = 0.004, p = 0.042, p = 0.005, respectively). Conclusions: Noncompliance with the antiemetic guidelines is continue to be a big problem in Turkish Medical Oncologists. The use of standardized antiemetic protocols in chemotherapy order forms or a computerized decision-support system is now seen as a better tool to enhance compliance with the guidelines.
