简要总结
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. This was a single-center, 2-arm quasi-experimental study. 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.
详细描述
Background: The diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer may still bring severe psychological trauma to women. Cosmetic care is an effective measure to enhance patients' psychosocial functioning, which can help cancer patients cope with disfigurement-related adverse effects.
Objectives: 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.
Study design: This was a prospective, 2-arm quasi-experimental study, comprising two groups: the controlled group and the interventional group. In order to avoid interference, the two groups of participants were recruited at different periods. The control group was recruited from Jan 2015 to Mar 2015, and the intervention group was recruited from January 2016 to September 2017. All participants came from the department of a breast surgery in Shanghai, China.
Control condition: Participants in the control group received usual care during adjuvant chemotherapy.
Intervention: Participants in the intervention group received cosmetic care in combination with usual care.

主要结局
Social avoidance and distress scale

Social avoidance and distress (SAD) was assessed using social avoidance and distress scale, which contains 28 items. The total score in the scale ranges from 0 to 28. A higher score means greater SAD.
Body image scale
时间窗: Change from baseline to half of the cycle of chemotherapy and the end of cycle of chemotherapy (each cycle is 21 days, and there were 4-6 cycles totally).
Body image (BI) was assessed using the body image scale. It is a 10-item self-assessment scale, measuring cancer patients' perception of their appearance. The minimum and maximum values of the scale are 0 and 30. A higher score signifies a worse BI.
