Abstract:
Objective? To explore the effects of stress management in relieving adverse reactions after chemotherapy in gynecologic tumor patients. Methods? A total of 110 gynecologic oncology patients who were hospitalized in Ningbo Women and Children Hospital from January 2017 to December 2017 were selected by convenience sampling. The patients were divided into control group(n=55) and experimental group(n=55) according to simple random grouping method. The control group was given routine nursing. On this basis, the experimental group received stress management nursing. The incidence of adverse reactions after chemotherapy was compared between the two groups; the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and the Quality of Life Questionnaire(QLQ-C30) were used to evaluate the psychological status of the two groups. Results? After the implementation of stress management, the incidence of adverse reactions after chemotherapy in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05). After the intervention in the experimental group, the SAS and SDS scores were lower than the control group with statistical significance (P＜ 0.05). The scores of functional scale and the quality of life in the experimental group were higher than the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05). The experimental group had lower score in "symptoms scale" and each test items than that of the control group with statistical significances(P＜ 0.05). Conclusions? Stress management can reduce the incidence of adverse reactions in patients with gynecologic cancer chemotherapy, and adjust the psychological status of patients, thus improving the quality of life of patients.
