Based on epidemiological data, the incidence recorded globally by theInternational Agency for Research On Cancer (IARC) in 2012, as many as 43.3women had breast cancer. The patient will undergoing chemotherapy andexperience various disturbing symptoms. Various complaints can affect QOL.One of the therapies recommended by the journal Oncology Nursing is thetherapy of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR).Objective: To find out the benefits of PMR as one of the nursing interventions indealing with the quality of life for women Ca. Mammae is undergoingchemotherapyThe method used in this paper is a review literature study. Databases used insource search are CINAHL, PubMed, Science Direct, and Medline. The criterionof inclusion in literature search is the year of article publishing starting in 2010until 2018, and the English full article. Search keywords are Progressive MuscleRelaxation, breast cancer, quality of life and chemotherapy. Literature analysisuses PICOT (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Time).Based on the analysis found 5 themes, namely the quality of life characteristicsof patients undergoing chemotherapy, PMR as a relaxation therapy, PMR as apsychological stress reduction intervention, PMR as an intervention to increasemuscle metabolism, and PMR as a pain reduction intervention.Patients who undergoing chemotherapy will experience a decrease in QOL. PMRis a recommended intervention to improve patient QOL.

Relevance. Deep infection after knee arthroplasty requires radical surgical treatment of the infection site, removal of endoprosthesis components, and an antimicrobial spacer placement. If revision knee arthroplasty is impossible, the «gold standard» for this kind of patients is knee joint arthrodesis. The purpose of the study was the comparative analysis of knee joint fusion by external and internal fixation. Materials and Methods. The analysis of 60 cases of knee arthrodesis was carried out. The patients were divided into two groups with 30 patients in each. In the first group, knee arthrodesis was performed with long locking nail, in the second group — with external ring fixation. We compared the groups by intraoperative and drainage blood loss, the inpatient treatment duration, the terms of fusion and complications registered. The patients quality of life was evaluated using the SF-36 questionnaire before surgery, for the periods of 3, 6, and 12 months after the surgery. Results. The comparison of two methods of knee arthrodesis showed that blood loss in the internal fixation compared with external one, was 2.03 times more, the duration of inpatient treatment was 1.4 times less, and the total number of complications was 4.4 times less. However, the complications that affected the treatment outcome in long nail group were 1.5 times more. The differences in the average time of ankylosis formation were not statistically significant (p<0.05). The functional results of the treatment in 3 months after surgery in the group with internal fixation were much better. In 6 months after surgery the quality of life had no significant differences. In 12 months follow-up the indices in both groups were the same. Conclusion. The results of our study suggests us to think, knee joint arthrodesis by long fusion nail should be prefereble. If the nail insertion is technically impossible, and there is the high risk of deep infection recurrence, the external osteosynthesis should be used.
