To examine the physiology and pathophysiology of loss of hair, the impact of alopecia on the patient, nursing and self-care interventions, and available resources.
Published articles pertaining to alopecia and personal experiences of coping with alopecia.
Hair loss often is the most traumatic side effect for cancer patients. It causes depression, loss of self-confidence, and humiliation in men and women of all ages. Too few studies exist to make a definitive recommendation for scalp hypothermia and the use of scalp tourniquets. The major controversy and issue to consider with these hair-preservation techniques is scalp metastases. Further studies are needed to identify the impact of alopecia on patient self-image and quality of life.
Nursing interventions should be directed toward helping the patient and family adapt to and cope with alopecia. Patient education, identification of available resources, and supportive listening are therapeutic interventions.
探讨脱发的生理学和病理生理学、脱发对患者的影响、护理及自我护理干预措施以及可用资源。
关于脱发的已发表文章以及应对脱发的个人经历。
脱发往往是癌症患者最具创伤性的副作用。它会导致各年龄段的男性和女性出现抑郁、自信心丧失和屈辱感。关于头皮低温疗法和头皮止血带的使用，现有研究太少，无法给出明确建议。这些头发保存技术的主要争议和需要考虑的问题是头皮转移。需要进一步研究以确定脱发对患者自我形象和生活质量的影响。
护理干预应旨在帮助患者及其家人适应和应对脱发。患者教育、确定可用资源以及给予支持性倾听都是治疗性干预措施。
