The Effect of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia on Distress and Quality of Life in Male Patients With Cancer
Oncology nurses are pivotal in the prevention and early management of CIA. Patients who are expected to lose their hair because of chemotherapy should be informed before treatment and given suggestions to mitigate the impact of changes in appearance. Patients should be educated about pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches that can be used to cope with CIA.
