Abstract

Background: This study aimed to explore the effects of cosmetic care on body image (BI), and social avoidance and distress (SAD) in young Chinese breast cancer patients, aged 18–40 years old, receiving adjuvant chemotherapy. Methods: This was a 2-arm quasiexperimental study based on a single-center. A convenience sample of 76 hospitalized young female breast cancer patients, stage 0-III breast cancer diagnosis was recruited. The control group received usual care, while cosmetic care was added to the intervention group. The primary outcomes were BI and SAD accompanying chemotherapy, and the secondary outcome was the appearance satisfaction. It was registered at Clinical Trials.gov, no. NCT04733482. Results: There were significant differences in patients’ body image, and social avoidance and distress scores from the pre-discharge (T0) to at the end of the chemotherapy cycle (T2) between two groups (P < 0.05). However, the intervention did not significantly change the appearance satisfaction at T2 (P > 0.05). Logistic regression suggested there were no confounding demographic factors influencing the intervention. Conclusions: The present study indicated that cosmetic care improved BI and reduced SAD in young Chinese breast cancer patients during adjuvant chemotherapy. However, a randomized study should be undertaken to confirm our results.

美容护理对中国年轻乳腺癌化疗患者身体形象、社会回避和焦虑的影响

背景：本研究旨在探讨美容护理对接受辅助化疗的中国年轻癌症患者的身体形象（BI）和社交回避与痛苦（SAD）的影响。方法：这是一项基于单中心的双臂准实验研究。以76名住院的年轻女性癌症患者为方便样本，对其进行0-III期癌症诊断。对照组接受常规护理，而干预组则增加了美容护理。主要结果是BI和SAD伴随化疗，次要结果是外观满意度。它在Clinical Trials.gov上注册，编号NCT04733482。结果：两组患者出院前（T0）至化疗周期结束时（T2）的身体形象、社交回避和痛苦评分差异有统计学意义（P<0.05），干预并未显著改变T2时的外观满意度（P>0.05）。Logistic回归表明，干预没有混杂的人口统计学因素影响。结论：本研究表明，在辅助化疗期间，美容护理改善了中国年轻癌症患者的BI，降低了SAD。然而，应该进行一项随机研究来证实我们的结果。
