Abstract:
Objective? To explore the effects of self-relaxation training on the self-efficacy and sleep quality of patients undergoing radiotherapy for head and neck tumors. Methods? A total of 76 patients with head and neck tumor who received radiotherapy in our department from February 2016 to February 2018 were selected. All the patients were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group, with 38 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing care of radiotherapy for head and neck tumor. Beyond that, the intervention group also received self-relaxation training for 3 months. The differences of self-efficacy and sleep quality between the two groups were observed and compared. Results? After the intervention, the self-efficacy score of the intervention group was (79.14±6.12), significantly higher than that of the control group (71.76±6.27) (t=2.263, P=0.039). The difference in self-efficacy scores of the intervention group before and after the intervention was statistically significant (t=2.267, P=0.038). There was no significant difference in the self-efficacy scores in the control group before and after the intervention (t=1.792, P=0.069). After intervention, the total score and dimension scores (sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep disorder, hypnotic drugs, and daytime dysfunction) of the Pittsburgh sleep quality index table were all lower in the intervention group than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=-7.604,-3.183, -2.666, -4.320, -2.776, -3.772, -2.572,-5.085; P＜0.05). Conclusions? Self-relaxation training can improve the self-efficacy and sleep quality of patients undergoing radiotherapy for head and neck tumors.
