47

Results

Radiation dermatitis occurred in 98% of the patients (grades 2-3 in 24%) and oral mucositis in 48% (grades 2-3). The self-care checklist scores improved significantly throughout the latter half of the treatment and post-treatment periods. Self-care frequency did not significantly correlate with adverse event severity, although mouth rinsing frequency tended to increase. Two months after treatment, QOL improved across several domains, particularly mental health.

Baseline Characteristics

This study was approved by Gunma University Hospital Clinical Research Review Board and registered with the Ethics Review Committee for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects (approval date May 19, 2017; approval no. HS2016-120). All the procedures were conducted in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. Written informed consent was obtained from all the participants before CIRT initiation.
This prospective clinical study included 46 patients diagnosed with malignancies of the head and neck region who were treated with CIRT between July 2017 and December 2019 at our institution.

Participant flow

Prior to CIRT initiation, physicians or nurses explained the risk areas for radiation-induced dermatitis and mucositis using the DSM visualizations. The nurses provided instructions using a standardized booklet describing self-care techniques and precautions. The intervention team included a radiation oncologist for head and neck and nurses from the Heavy Ion Medical Center.
Nursing interviews were conducted at baseline, every week during CIRT, and 1 and 2 months after CIRT. Adverse events were graded using CTCAE version 4.0. Self-care frequency (including face washing, mouth rinsing, and tooth brushing) was recorded by the patients using self-report forms on treatment days and at 1 and 2 months post-CIRT. Nurses reviewed the DSM with patients, identified high-risk areas, and provided personalized feedback based on questionnaire responses.

Adverse events

No adverse events were observed.

Outcome measures

Patient and tumor characteristics.
Self-care check questionnaire.
Quality of life assessment.
