 Abstract Purpose: This study aims to investigate the relationship between anticipatory nausea and vomiting in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy with social support and anxiety. Material and Methods: This descriptive-correlational study involved 134 cancer patients receiving chemotherapy at a university hospital and experiencing anticipatory nausea. Anxiety levels were measured using the Beck Anxiety Inventory BAI, while the severity of nausea was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale VAS-nausea, and social support levels were evaluated using the Cancer Patient Social Support Scale CPSSS. Descriptive statistics were employed to analyze demographic characteristics. Independent sample t-tests, Kruskal-Wallis, one-way analysis of variance ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U test, Cronbachs alpha coefficient, and Pearson correlation analysis were used for data analysis. Results: Results showed that 62.7 experienced moderate to severe nausea post-chemotherapy, with 57.5 having received prior chemotherapy. 61.2 reported minimal anxiety. Patients under moderately emetogenic treatments exhibited higher anticipatory nausea scores. Anxiety inversely correlated with social support, but no significant link was found between anticipatory nausea severity and anxietysocial support levels. Conclusion: The findings indicate that there is no relationship between anticipatory nausea and vomiting, social support, and anxiety among cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
