Research process
With the simulated photography day being the first day of self-care education, radiotherapy self-care education was provided. After 2 weeks of treatment, the effectiveness levels of the first and second health education sessions were evaluated. Nursing education was reinforced to address any uncertainties. During the treatment period, the patients had the opportunity to enquire about the content and methods of self-care health education at outpatient clinics once a week; these sessions were used to investigate the degree to which patients absorbed health and self-care knowledge.
