Effect and Nursing Experience of Red Light Combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine Facial Mask Wet Compress in Treating Facial Corticosteroid Addictive Dermatitis
Objective To evaluate the effect of red light combined with a traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)facial mask wet compress in the intervention for facial corticosteroid addictive dermatitis(FCAD)and to summarize nursing practices.Methods A total of 108 patients with FCAD who are admitted to the hospital between October 2020 and October 2023 were selected and randomly assigned into an observation group and a control group,each comprising 54 patients.Both groups received red light therapy.Post-treatment,the control group was provided with routine nursing interventions,while the observation group received additional TCM facial mask wet compress intervention.Scores for subjective and objective symptoms,as well as TCM syndrome scores,were analyzed after 4 weeks of intervention.A non-invasive skin test was conducted,and patient quality of life was assessed.Results Following the intervention,the observation group exhibited significantly lower scores for subjective and objective symptoms,total symptom scores,and TCM syndrome scores compared to the control group(P<0.05).Additionally,skin hydration and sebum content in the observation group were significantly higher,while transepidermal water loss was significantly lower than in the control group(P<0.05).Quality of life scores for the observation group were also notably improved compared to the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of red light therapy and TCM facial mask wet compress effectively improves clinical symptoms,promotes skin repair,and enhances the quality of life for patients with FCAD.This approach is valuable for clinical application and further dissemination.
