Abstract

Non-hodgkin lymphoma (nhl) is a heterogeneous group of cancers with increasing incidence globally. Optimal pharmacotherapy management is crucial for improving treatment outcomes and patient quality of life (hrqol). However, in resource-limited settings like yemen, the quality of nhl care may be suboptimal due to various challenges, including limited access to resources, inadequate training, and lack of standardised treatment guidelines. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluated nhl pharmacotherapy in yemen, focusing on healthcare provider knowledge and practices, antiemetic guideline adherence, drps, and patients' hrqol. Conducted from january 2022 to september 2023, the study included cross-sectional surveys of physicians and nurses from eight oncology centers and units and 300 adult nhl patients at the national oncology center (noc) in sana'a. Data collection involved validated questionnaires, face-to-face interviews, medical records, treatment charts, and the fact-lym questionnaire. Among 77 physicians and 105 nurses, 54.3% of nurses and 66.2% of physicians had poor knowledge of nhl pharmacotherapy, with 83.8% of nurses and 75.3% of physicians showing poor practice. Chemotherapy knowledge and practice improved with adequate information and specialized training. Only 23.9% of 251 nhl patients received antiemetic treatment consistent with nccn guidelines.
