  • 방사선들 중에서 감마선은 우리의 몸 속을 깊숙이 침투할 수 있다. 그런 감마선이 우리 몸을 투과할 때, 체세표를 이룬 원자들의 궤도전자들과 충돌하면서 소멸된다. 우리는 그런 현상들을 물질과의 상호작용 이라 부른다. 방사선과 물질과의 상호작용은 원자의 단위에서 일어난다. 감마선이 물질과의 상호작용들은 물리적으로는 광전자 산란 효과, 컴프턴 산란 효과 그리고 전자쌍 생성효과 등으로 구분하여 설명된다. 방사선이 우리의 몸 속에서 체세포의 원자와 충돌하여 생기는 자유전자들은 몸 속에 남게 되고, 그들은 몸 속을 상당 기간 동안 배회하면서 인체의 생명 현상을 유지시킬 생화학 작용의 기능들을 약화시키기도 하고, 악성인 암세포들을 만들어내기도 하므로 건강 유지에 불리하게 작용한다. 따라서 감마선에 쪼여 생긴 자유전자들은 우리의 정상적인 건강 조건들을 해치는 주된 요소가 된다.

  • This study aims to provide basic data to reduce the incidence of radiation dermatitis and improve patient satisfaction by investigating the management status and satisfaction level of radiation dermatitis in patients undergoing radiation therapy. From October 28, 2022, to April 4, 2023, a survey was conducted on 137 breast cancer patients who received radiation therapy at G Hospital in Busan. The Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) cutaneous acute radiotherapy toxicity score was used as the standard for measuring skin reactions, and the association between cancer stage and RTOG was analyzed. SPSS program (ver. 18.0) was used for statistical analysis. The frequency of radiation dermatitis occurrence was relatively low, with 73% in the RTOG 0-1 group and 27% in the 2-3 group. Patient satisfaction after radiation therapy varied significantly depending on the RTOG group, with lower levels of dermatitis resulting in higher satisfaction and higher levels resulting in dissatisfaction (p=0.001). Although there was no statistically significant difference in RTOG group and skin satisfaction depending on the frequency of aloe mist use (p=0.065), the group that used it 1-2 times a day (69.3%) showed a higher satisfaction level. The perceived effects of aloe mist use were statistically significant for decreasing heat sensation (p=0.001), pain (p=0.033), itching (p=0.001), and psychological stability (p=0.027), especially in the higher RTOG groups. Additionally, as cancer stage increased, the severity of radiation dermatitis also increased, which was statistically significant (p=0.001). In conclusion, radiation dermatitis is the most common side effect of radiation therapy, and it can appear in various forms depending on individual skin sensitivity and external factors during treatment. Adequate education before treatment and the use of MD Cream and aloe vera mist are recommended to reduce the incidence and manage radiation dermatitis effectively.
