PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: To examine how neutropenia affects quality of life (QOL) and explore strategies to assess neutropenia-related QOL in clinical practice.
Published articles, abstracts, conference proceedings, and clinical practice guidelines.
Neutropenia can have a detrimental effect on the QOL of patients receiving chemotherapy. A neutropenia-related QOL questionnaire can help nurses better identify patients at risk for developing neutropenia and monitor patients who already have it. In some cases, the questionnaire may be the first step in the initiation of interventions to improve patient care. Ideally, the QOL questionnaire should be easy to use, provide clinically meaningful information, and be easily adapted from existing QOL measurement tools.
Effective implementation of QOL assessments into clinical practice can lead to the initiation of interventions that may improve neutropenia-related QOL in patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy.
Nurses can enhance their clinical judgment and affect patient treatment by implementing a questionnaire that assesses patients' neutropenia-related QOL.

已发表的文章、摘要、会议记录和临床实践指南。
中性粒细胞减少症会对接受化疗的患者的生活质量产生不利影响。一份与中性粒细胞减少症相关的生活质量问卷可以帮助护士更好地识别有发生中性粒细胞减少症风险的患者，并监测已经患有该病的患者。在某些情况下，该问卷可能是启动改善患者护理干预措施的第一步。理想情况下，生活质量问卷应易于使用，提供具有临床意义的信息，并且易于从现有的生活质量测量工具改编而来。
在临床实践中有效实施生活质量评估可以促使采取干预措施，从而可能改善接受化疗的癌症患者与中性粒细胞减少症相关的生活质量。
护士可以通过实施一份评估患者与中性粒细胞减少症相关生活质量的问卷来增强其临床判断力并影响患者治疗。
