Effect of Nursing Method of Psychological Intervention Combined with Health Education on Lung Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy

Abstract

At present, lung cancer has become clinically the malignant tumor with the highest incidence and mortality rate in China. Smoking, environmental pollution, infection, etc., are closely related to lung cancer. To investigate the effect of the nursing method of psychological intervention combined with health education on lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, 70 lung cancer patients who received chemotherapy in our hospital from June 2017 to June 2020 were selected and randomly divided into a routine intervention group (n = 35) and a combined intervention group (n = 35). Patients in the two groups had the same chemotherapy method and medication. The routine intervention group received the routine nursing intervention, while on this basis, the combined intervention group received psychological intervention combined with health education. After 6-week nursing, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) score, self-rating depression scale (SDS) score, cancer pain score before and after nursing, improvement of respiratory function before and after nursing, sleep quality score, quality of life score, and nursing satisfaction were analyzed. Through nursing intervention, the quality of life indexes such as physiological, physical, social, emotional, and other indexes in the combined intervention group were significantly better than those in the routine intervention group, with statistical differences P < 0.01 . The nursing satisfaction in the combined intervention group was significantly better than that in the routine intervention group, with statistical significance (χ2 = 8.9342, P < 0.05 ). The psychological intervention combined with health education for lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy can effectively alleviate anxiety and depression, increase confidence in treatment, reduce pain and significantly improve sleep quality, respiratory function, quality of life, and nursing satisfaction.

Effect of Network-Based Positive Psychological Nursing Model Combined With Elemene Injection on Negative Emotions, Immune Function and Quality of Life in Lung Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy in the Era of Big Data

“…Therefore, how to reduce or alleviate the side effects of chemotherapy and enhance the QOL of patients has become an urgent problem to be solved. With the insufficient understanding of the disease, LC patients are often accompanied by serious negative emotions such as annoyance, fear and depression with the clinical manifestations of distress, reduced self-esteem and crying once they are informed of the disease (19). While seriously disturbing the clinical treatment, these negative emotions also affect the sleep and QOL of patients.…”

Influence of Psychological Nursing Procedure on Negative Emotion, Stress State, Quality of Life and Nursing Satisfaction in Patients with Lung Cancer Radical Operation

“…We found that psychological nursing procedure for patients undergoing radical resection of lung cancer can reduce SAS and SDS scores. The psychological nursing procedure is aimed at the role of the patient, and applies the biological-psychological-social medical model to the treatment process of patients, so as to improve the patient’s psychological condition and optimize the patient’s self-emotional management ability ( 15 ). This method assesses the patient’s psychological status, master the causes of unhealthy psychology and formulate corresponding psychological intervention programs, which can help patients reduce negative psychology, alleviate the pain caused by the tumor itself and treatment, and help patients face difficulties positively ( 16 ).…”

Application Value of Evidence-Based Care in Patients with Lung Cancer Chemotherapy

“…Besides, patients were briefed on pain and pharmacological remission and were told to follow the doctor's advice to take analgesics. The pain threshold of patients was also raised through distraction when they were in pain (7) Posture nursing: the medical staff gave patients guidance on postures and appropriately assisted patients to be in a comfortable position to avoid pressure ulcers (8) Exercise and diet care: patients were given scientific and appropriate exercise guidance based on their personal information and condition, so as to help them improve immunity and accelerate recovery.…”

“…Chemotherapy, a common treatment for patients with advanced LC, may also lead to adverse emotions such as irritability, depression, and cancer-related fatigue [ 4 , 5 ], all of which will not only exert varying degrees of negative effects on the self-efficacy and life quality of LC patients undergoing chemotherapy but also reduce patients' treatment compliance that lowers their treatment compliance [ 6 , 7 ]. This puts forward a demand for the management optimization of patients with LC chemotherapy, and exploring an effective and reliable high-quality nursing model is of positive significance for the rehabilitation of such patients [ 8 ].…”
