Abstract
Objective: To analyze the application effect of radiotherapy skin protective agents on skin reactions in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy. Methods: One hundred and twenty nasopharyngeal cancer patients admitted to the hospital from January 2017 to January 2023 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group of 60 cases each. Both groups received radiotherapy. The control group received traditional intervention methods while the observation group received traditional intervention methods combined with radiation therapy and skin protective agent intervention. The skin reactions, pain, comfort, and quality of life were compared between the two groups. Results: Both groups of patients had skin reactions, but the severity of skin reactions in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). On the last day of radiotherapy, the pain score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the comfort score was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The total quality of life scores of the patients in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: In treating skin reactions in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma undergoing radiotherapy, the application of radiotherapy skin protective agents reduced skin damage and pain and increased their quality of life.
