The Effect of Cosmetic Makeup on Body Imagery and Anxiety and Depression in Patients Undergoing Postoperative Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer: A Randomized Controlled Study.

The objective was to compare the body images of breast cancer patients undergoing postoperative chemotherapy and the varying degrees of their anxiety and depression. The comparison involved those who received four consecutive cycles of cosmetic makeup and those who did not. Seventy-four breast cancer patients receiving postoperative chemotherapy were randomly assigned to either the control group or the intervention group.
