In addition, breast cancer can spread to other parts of the body (Herninandari et al. , 2. Based on the 2018 Globocan Cancer Incidence and Mortality Estimates Report, breast cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed malignancy, accounting for more than 11. 6% of all cancers in women. This disease is the fifth leading cause of cancer death and accounts for 6. 6% of all cancer deaths worldwide. (Huang et al. , 2.

Patients with breast cancer receive various treatments, one of which is chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is a technique of using chemicals to destroy cancer cells. From the results of research by Boccia . it was found that 70% to 80% of all cancer patients who received chemotherapy experienced nausea and vomiting, with or without preventive medication (Lisnawati. et al. , 2. Chemotherapy drugs stimulate the nausea center in the brain, namely the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ), via afferent nerve fibers in the medulla oblongata. Furthermore, this stimulus is responded to through afferent nerve fibers in the vagus nerve and at the same time, the nausea and vomiting center provides autonomic reflex stimuli and sympathetic reflexes that accompany nausea and vomiting, namely in the form of contractions of the abdominal muscles and diaphragm, reverse movement of intestinal peristalsis, stimulation of the pharynx and and duodenal distension . timulating gastrointestinal dopamine and serotonin receptor. resulting in nausea and vomiting involving several neurotransmitters and chemoreceptors (Ikhtiarani & Aprianti, 2. Continuous nausea will result in vomiting, if not 2nd International Health Conference STIKes Panca Bhakti (IHCPB) treated immediately it can cause dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, weight loss and malnutrition, damage to the esophagus, stomach and bleeding (Ayubbana & Hasanah, 2. So far, patients with nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy in hospitals have only been treated with antiemetic drugs which can cause side effects.

(Lumadi et al. From the results of research conducted by Eghbali . in (Lisnawati. et al. , 2. regarding the use of aromatherapy combined with peppermint aroma which is effective in reducing nausea and vomiting in the acute phase after chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. This is because the peppermint aromatherapy odor molecules that evaporate through the nasal mucosa are transmitted to chemical signals that move through the olfactory bulb and trigger receptors in the nasal epithelium, thus stimulating the limbic system and thalamus to release endorphins and serotonin which causes a person to be relaxed and comfortable. where this condition will suppress the stress stimulus which causes the body to feel comfortable so that it can reduce nausea and vomiting (Ayubbana & Hasanah, 2021: Lisnawati. et al. , 2. Then another non-pharmacological treatment to reduce nausea is music therapy. Because music therapy is believed to reduce nausea and vomiting in post-chemotherapy patients. From the results of research conducted by (Zanah et al. , 2. , there was a significant influence between the provision of classical music therapy on complaints of nausea and vomiting in postchemotherapy patients with cancer in the Cytostatics unit at Telogorejo Hospital. Semarang (Zanah et al. , 2. Music works by manipulating the hypothalamus so that it does not react too strongly to stressors. This is because music stimulates the pituitary to release endorphins and serotonin which produce euphoria and sedation for the listener. So music can change pain, stress, anxiety and complaints of nausea, vomiting and other health problems that can be diverted with music therapy (Sesrianty et al. , 2.
