Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of meditation relaxation therapy on sleep quality and emotion among breast cancer patients with chemotherapy. Methods From October 2016 to September 2017, we selected 140 breast cancer patients with modified radical mastectomy and chemotherapy by convenience sampling. Patients treated between October 2016 and March 2017 were in control group, while patients treated between April and September 2017 were in observation group, 70 cases in each group. Patients of control group received conventional nursing. On the basis of control group, patients of observation group were treated with meditation relaxation therapy. Finally, patients were evaluated with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), SAS and SDS before and after intervention. Results After intervention, the total score of PSQI, SAS and SDS of patients of observation group was (4.13±2.41), (44.4±5.12) and (39.4±4.93) respectively lower than those of control group (t=-2.138, 3.901, -4.654;P＜0.05). Conclusions Meditation relaxation therapy can improve the sleep quality, anxiety and depression, and it can also promote psychosomatic rehabilitation.
