Abstract:
Objective? To explore the effects of strengthening out-of-hospital health beliefs on perceived well-being and behavioral change in elderly patients with colon cancer. Methods? Totally 112 elderly patients with colon cancer admitted in Nanyang City Center Hospital from August 2015 to August 2017 were selected by convenient sampling and divided into two groups (n=56) based on the time of admission. Patients in the control group received conventional nursing care, while patients in the observation group received out-of-hospital health beliefs. Both interventions lasted for 6 months. The knowledge needs scale for cancer patients and the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-Ⅱ (HPLPⅡ) were used to evaluate the perceived well-being and healthy behaviors in the two groups before and after intervention. Results? The scores of psychological needs, technical needs, medication needs and rehabilitation needs and the total score of the knowledge needs scale for cancer patients in the observation group were higher than those before intervention and those of the control group after intervention. The scores of self-fulfillments, exercise, health responsibility, nutrition, pressure handling and interpersonal support and the total score of HPLP Ⅱ of the observation group were higher than those before intervention and those of the control group after intervention (P＜ 0.05). Conclusions? Strengthening out-of-hospital health beliefs can effectively improve the perceived well-being of elderly patients with colon cancer and enable them to develop healthy behaviors.
