Abstract

Though it's not a life-threatening issue, hair loss (Alopecia) continues to be one of the most distressing and troubling side effects of chemotherapy for clients. In his study of women undergoing treatment for primary breast cancer, Freedman found that some women rejected chemotherapy because of the risk of hair loss. Objective :the study was to investigate the correlation between of Alopecia and Cancer Client's Body Image. Technology or Method : The type of this research was correlation analysis with cross sectional approach. Sampling method was using Non-probability sampling technique using Purposive sampling method with total sample 37 respondents. The research instrument was using questionnaire and observation. Based on research, 73% experience degree 2 Alopecia and 74,7% have negative body image. Spearman's Rho test shows there is a relationship between alopecia with body image, p value = 0.00.Suggestions to nurses are expected to improve the body image of cancer clients who experience alopecia towards a more positive by providing positive insights such as listening to what the client wants to express about the situation and invites clients into sharing groups with other patients who have the same disease and experience.
