Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is a multidimensional health problem. Up to now, little evidence has been found concerning its impact on quality of life and foot health. Evaluation tools and prevention and treatment strategies must be reported. This study aimed to map the literature on the impact of this side effect on the wellbeing and foot health of people with breast cancer and to describe their main assessment strategies and complementary therapies.
A scoping review was carried out while following the PRISMA-ScR and Arksey and O'Malley guidelines. Different databases (Cochrane Plus, Scopus, Web of Science, and Pubmed) were used. A total of 221 results were identified. Sixteen articles were included.
The thematic analysis obtained the following categories: the impact of peripheral neuropathy on quality of life and foot health, complementary therapies as a path for new strategies, and the need for clinicians and researchers to get involved in researching this side effect.
Peripheral neuropathy has a negative impact on people's quality of life. Implications for foot health and maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle have not been previously reported. Complementary therapies are recommended by scientific evidence, highlighting exercise. However, there is a need to develop more research that will help to incorporate them into evidence-based practice.
化疗引起的周围神经病变是一个多方面的健康问题。到目前为止，关于其对生活质量和足部健康影响的证据很少。必须报告评估工具以及预防和治疗策略。本研究旨在梳理关于这种副作用对乳腺癌患者幸福感和足部健康影响的文献，并描述其主要评估策略和辅助疗法。
按照PRISMA-ScR以及阿克西和奥马利指南进行了一项范围综述。使用了不同的数据库（Cochrane Plus、Scopus、科学网和PubMed）。共识别出221条结果。纳入了16篇文章。
主题分析得出以下类别：周围神经病变对生活质量和足部健康的影响、辅助疗法作为新策略的途径，以及临床医生和研究人员参与研究这种副作用的必要性。
周围神经病变对人们的生活质量有负面影响。此前尚未报道其对足部健康以及维持积极健康生活方式的影响。科学证据推荐辅助疗法，尤其强调运动。然而，需要开展更多研究，以帮助将其纳入循证实践。
