Rate My Professor Rae NobleAdams

In the domain of oncology nursing and radiotherapy side effects, Dr. Rae NobleAdams authored a pivotal three-part series published in the British Journal of Nursing in 1999. The articles are: 'Radiation-induced skin reactions. 1: an examination of the phenomenon' (8(17):1134-40); 'Radiation-induced skin reactions. 2: development of a measurement tool' (8(18):1208-11), which introduced the Radiation-Induced Skin Reaction Assessment Scale (RISRAS) for clinician-based evaluation of erythema, dry and moist desquamation; and 'Radiation-induced skin reactions. 3: evaluating the RISRAS' (8(19):1305-12). These publications have garnered substantial citations—76, 90, and 93 respectively on PubMed—and the RISRAS tool is referenced in ongoing research, including 2024 studies on therapeutic radiographers' confidence and 2025-2026 reviews on radiation skin injury pathophysiology. ResearchGate profiles her with five research works totaling 203 citations. Additional contributions include 'Cancer Connect New Zealand: description and retrospective audit' (2012) and acknowledgment as a research nurse in the 2021 British Journal of General Practice trial 'Nortriptyline for pain in knee osteoarthritis: a double-blind randomised controlled trial'. Her work advances assessment and management protocols for radiation dermatitis in cancer patients.
