Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of systematic desensitization therapy on the emotion of cancer patients with acute stress disorder. Methods A total of 50 cancer patients with acute stress disorder admitted in Cangzhou People's Hospital were selected and divided into control group (n=25) and observation group (n=25) according to the random number table from July 2016 to May 2017. Patients in the control group received conventional psychological nursing, while patients in the observation group received systematic desensitization therapy by professional psychological consultant on this basis. Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) were used to evaluate the anxiety and depression of the two groups. Results After two weeks' intervention, the anxiety and depression scores of the observation group were (15.00±1.12) and (14.36±1.38), respectively, which both were lower than those of the control group (t=5.099, 5.045; P＜ 0.05). Conclusions Systematic desensitization therapy is more favorable to alleviate negative emotions such as anxiety and depression in cancer patients with acute stress disorder than conventional psychological nursing, which has better intervention effects and is worth promoting in clinical work.
