Abstract:
Objective To assay the clinical observation about the influence of psychological intervention to the mental state after chemotherapy of breast cancer patients in the rural area. Methods A total of 120 breast cancer patients in the rural area were randomly divided into the treatment group (n=60) and the control group (n=60). The treatment group was treated with the active psychological interventions, and the control group was treated with the routine nursing and health education. The mental health states of the two groups were measured by SCL-90 self measuring scale and self rating depression/anxiety scale designed by Zung, then the changes of mental health states before and after the intervention were compared. Results The score of SCL-90 self-measuring scale of the treatment group was (1.54±0.33), which was significantly lower than (1.82±0.43) in the control group after the psychological interventions. The grades of depression and anxiety of the treatment group were significantly lower than those of the control group. The differences between the two groups had statistical meanings (P＜ 0.05). Conclusions The nuring on basis of traditional therapy, combined with systemic psychological intervention, can improve the mental state of breast cancer patients with chemotherapy.
