本研究旨在确定口腔黏膜炎预防方案对头颈癌放射治疗患者营养状况和生活质量的影响。这项随机控制的实验研究将20名患者分为干预组，他们接受口腔护理方案和营养方案。30例患者作为对照组。通过面对面访谈收集数据，采用口腔评估指南、口腔评估指南、口腔毒性量表、视觉模拟量表、主观整体评估指数和生活质量量表。随着治疗后时间的推移，干预组营养不良发生率低于对照组，干预组口腔黏膜炎相关疼痛明显减轻。两组患者的生活质量都出现了类似的恶化。
This study was conducted to determine the effect of an oral mucositis prevention protocol on nutritional status and quality of life for patients undergoing radiation therapy for head and neck cancers. This randomized, controlled, experimental study placed 20 patients in an intervention group where they received an oral care protocol and a nutrition protocol. Thirty patients were placed in the control group. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using an oral assessment guide, oral evaluation guidelines, an oral toxicity scale, a visual analog scale, a subjective global assessment index, and a quality-of-life scale. As time post-treatment progressed, the prevalence of malnutrition in the intervention group was lower than in the controls group, and the intervention group experienced significantly less pain related to oral mucositis. Similar deteriorations in quality of life were noted in each group.
