This article discusses the development of an innovative role for oncology nurses in assisting patients with their personal information and image needs that arise from alopecia secondary to the treatment of cancer. An independent oncology nursing consultative service was initiated after a survey of patients was conducted (N = 40) to assess alopecia knowledge, needs, and referral source. Nurses (N = 16) attending a local Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) chapter meeting were surveyed to assess their intervention patterns and knowledge of hair and scalp care during hair loss. To respond to needs identified through the surveys, the consultative service developed a patient education program and booklet, as well as professional education sessions. Management and evaluation of this practice continues to provide a learning experience.
本文探讨了肿瘤护理人员在协助癌症治疗后继发性脱发患者满足其个人信息和形象需求方面创新角色的发展。在对40名患者进行调查以评估脱发知识、需求和转诊来源后，启动了一项独立的肿瘤护理咨询服务。对参加当地肿瘤护理协会（ONS）分会会议的16名护士进行了调查，以评估她们在脱发期间的干预模式以及头发和头皮护理知识。为了回应调查中发现的需求，咨询服务制定了患者教育计划和手册，以及专业教育课程。对这种做法的管理和评估持续提供了学习经验。
