Abstract:
Objective To explore the relativity between anxiety of patients with liver cancer and personality characteristics．Methods Questionnaires were distributed to a total of 300 liver cancer patients who were admitted into hospital for the first time，such as SAS (Serf-rating Depression Scale),EPQ(Eysenck Personality Questionaire) and so on．Results The score of SAS of liver cancer patients Was (45.12±8.91),which was much higher than that of the normal people (P<0.01)．The score of SAS of liver cancer patients with unstable introvert personality characteristics was (50.05±9.63),which was much higher than that of those with stable extrovert personality characteristics(P<0.01)．The score of SAS of liver cancer patients with unstable introvert personality characteristics was (49.12±8.91),which was much higher than that of those with stable introvert personality characteristics(P<0.01)．Conclusions The level of anxiety differs among liver cancer patients．As an independent risky factor,the unstable personality characteristics tend to cause anxiety of liver cancer patients．Paramedics should adopt active methods to lessen their anxiety.
