Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the improvement effect of cognitive psychotherapy on negative emotions and shame in patients with cancer and depression.Methods:A total of 114 patients with cancer and depression who received treatment at Shaoxing 7 th People's Hospital from February 2022 to May 2023 were included in this randomized controlled study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: group A and group B, with 57 patients in each group. Group A received routine western medicine treatment, while group B received routine western medicine combined with cognitive psychotherapy. Both groups received treatment for 8 weeks. Various measures were evaluated at the end of the treatment period, including negative emotions (Hamilton Depression Scale score, Hamilton Anxiety Scale score), shame (Social Impact Scale score), self-efficacy (Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale score), sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score), and clinical efficacy. Results:After treatment, the Hamilton Depression Scale score and Hamilton Anxiety Scale score in group B were (7.83 ± 2.01) points and (9.78 ± 1.94) points, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in group A [(12.15 ± 2.37) points, (13.06 ± 2.32) points, t = 10.50, 8.19, both P < 0.001). The Social Impact Scale score in group B was significantly lower than that in group A [(44.72 ± 4.93) points vs. (51.63 ± 6.10) points, t = 6.65, P < 0.001]. The Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale score in group B was significantly higher than that in group A [(121.65 ± 11.44) points vs. (100.24 ± 10.73) points, t = -10.31, P < 0.001]. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score in group B was significantly lower than that in group A [(7.00 ± 0.85) points vs. (9.83 ± 1.10) points, t = 15.37, P < 0.001]. The overall response rate in group B was significantly higher than that in group A [94.74% (54/57) vs. 80.70% (46/57), χ2 = 5.21, P = 0.022]. Conclusion:Cognitive psychotherapy has a significant impact on patients with cancer and depression, effectively alleviating negative emotions and shame, enhancing self-efficacy, and improving sleep quality. Therefore, it deserves clinical promotion.
