Cancer treatment often results in changes in appearance, such as skin disorders, hair loss and deformed or discoloured nails, due to surgery, drugs and radiotherapy. Changes in appearance associated with cancer treatment, such as hair loss, skin disorders and scarring, were long considered unavoidable in exchange for life, despite being high on the list of patient distress. However, in the modern era of extended patient survival and a marked increase in the number of working patients, appearance-related appearance care has been positioned as a major pillar of supportive care by healthcare professionals for the purpose of continuing and promoting cancer treatment. In fact, the issue of 'appearance' was taken up for the first time in the Third Basic Plan for the Promotion of Cancer Control and Prevention in 2018, which calls for the construction of a society where people can live with dignity and peace of mind, and requires healthcare professionals to provide appropriate support for appearance issues in order to improve patients' quality of life. This study focuses particularly on nail deformity and aims to analyse the psychological impact of welfare nail intervention as appearance care on cancer patients attending the Kumamoto University Hospital Outpatient Chemotherapy Centre in terms of patient QOL, depression and anxiety, and to examine its effectiveness.

Maneuver | Other |
A welfare nail intervention every two weeks for three months, followed by a questionnaire survey and interviews about the psychological impact of the intervention, including quality of life, depression and anxiety. The care nail intervention is not a medical treatment and is considered non-invasive. The psychological investigation falls under the case where sufficient care is taken in the questionnaire-based question survey, such as clearly indicating in advance that it includes contents that may cause psychological distress to the research subjects, and the research subjects can respond or refuse to respond anonymously, and is judged to be slightly invasive overall as this study.
