Objective To observe the curative effect of chymotrypsin and danshen mixture treatment to moist skin damage caused by radiotherapy.Methods 90 NPC patients who underwent radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy were randomized into the observation group(46 cases)and the control group(44 cases).Patients in the observation group received external application of chymotrypsin and danshen mixture;while patients in the control group received laser irradiation treatment.The healing progress of skin injury of two groups was observed and compared.Results Time of detumescence,pain relieving,itching and healing of the observation group was shorter than the control group.Nursing effect for level 2 & 3 radiation-induced skin injury in the observation group was better than the control group.Conclusions Chymotrypsin and danshen mixture has a great nursing efficacy on radiation-induced skin injury.It should be used in the early stage.

Objective:To explore the effect of narrative nursing plan on patients with cancer fatalism at the initial stage of radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 126 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who were admitted to the Third Ward of Radiotherapy, Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from July 2019 to June 2020 with cancer fatalism at the initial stage of radiotherapy. Among them, 62 cases from July to December 2019 were set as the control group, and 64 cases from January to June 2020 were set as the observation group. Routine nursing intervention and narrative nursing intervention were given respectively, and before the intervention (the second day after admission), after 7 weeks of intervention, the Fatalism Scale and Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scale scores of the two groups were compared.Results:Before the intervention, the cancer fatalism and depression scores of the two groups were at a high level and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05); after the implementation of the narrative nursing intervention program, the cancer fatalism and depression scores of the observation group were (37.23±6.12), (9.42±1.36) points, lower than (47.78±9.14), (15.65±2.03) points of the control group. There was statistical significance ( t values were 7.698, 7.524, P<0.05). Conclusion:In the early stage of radiotherapy, patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma have a strong concept of cancer fatalism, and narrative nursing intervention can effectively reduce their cancer fatalism and depression.
