Abstract:
Objective To investigate the preventive effect of specially-designed clothing on dressing the wound of panents after breast cancer surgery. Methods Using random number table, we divided 400 patients having undergone breast cancer surgery into the observation group and control group in equal number. In the control group, the patients wore ordinary patient clothing after dressing the chest wound with compression bandage,and in the observation group the patients wore the specially-designed clothing after the same treatment of the chest wound as that in the control.The two groups were compared in terms of the incidence of subcutaneous effusion,incidence of skin flap necrosis and the difference of patients'comfort. Results The incidences of subcutaneous effusion and skin flap necrosis were significantly lower than those in the control group.The patient was more comfortable than that the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05,P<0.01). Conclusion After breast cancer surgery,the specially-designed clothing for the patients can effectively reduce the incidences of subcutaneous effusion and incidence of skin flap necrosis and improve the patient's comfort,and deserve clinical promotion.
