Effect of Perceptual Stress Reduction Control Intervention on the Level of Symptoms in Breast Cancer at Different Time Points

Abstract

<jats:p>Background: To investigate the effect of perceptual stress reduction control intervention on the level of symptomatic groups at different time points in breast cancer.&#x0D; Methods: A total of 124 breast cancer patients were divided into intervention group and control group, 62 cases in each group. Perioperative nursing and chemotherapy nursing were given to the control group, and the intervention group was given the interventional stress reduction control intervention. The level of symptom clusters of different time points were compared between the two groups.&#x0D; Results: The incidence and severity of myelosuppression in the intervention group were slightly lower than those in the control group. The adverse reactions of bone marrow suppression at T3 were much lower than those in the control group, and the differences were significant (P=0.003, P=0.043). The control group had higher incidence and more severe symptoms of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea than the intervention group (P=0.002, P=0.042). The symptoms of breast pain and swelling at T1 in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P=0.000, P=0.000). There was no significant difference in breast symptoms between the two groups at T2 and T3 (p&gt;0.05). At the time of T2 and T3 of chemotherapy, the health promotion behavior scores of the intervention group were higher than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (PT2=0.000, PT3=0.000).&#x0D; Conclusion: Perceptual stress reduction control intervention can effectively relieve bone marrow suppression, digestive tract discomfort and breast symptoms, and promote health promotion behavior.</jats:p>

Non-Pharmacological Management of Nausea and Vomiting in Cancer: A Scoping Review

“…Three articles discussed environmental modifications, such as the use of peppermint oil and peppermint extract, or music therapy with periorbital massage (Dadkhah et al, 2019;Ertürk & Taşcı, 2021;Jafarimanesh et al, 2020). Seven articles reviewed psychological strategies using behavioural interventions, self-care education programs, integrated educational programs, dignity therapy, perceptual stress reduction, structured education, and serious game (Bayati et al, 2019;Cao et al, 2020;Hunter et al, 2020;Ince & Usta, 2020;Karimi et al, 2017;Loerzel et al, 2020;Zaki-Nejad et al, 2020). Other strategies, such as using exercise to improve nausea and vomiting, were discussed in four articles (Anestin et al, 2017;Chang et al, 2020;Nakano et al, 2018;van Waart et al, 2015).…”

“…Dignity therapy was found to improve quality of life in the intervention group and also to improve nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms in the palliative phase. Another intervention in the form of perceptual stress reduction control was analyzed in the study of Cao et al (2020). Breast cancer patients undergoing surgical intervention and chemotherapy were given such intervention through dilution therapy and meditation before going to bed.…”
