Abstract:
Objective To explore the status quo of uncertainty in illness in patients with borderline ovarian tumors (BOT) and its influencing factors. MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, totally 165 patients with BOT hospitalized in Ningbo Women & Children's Hospital from March 2018 to March 2019 were selected using purposive sampling and investigated with the demographic information questionnaire, the Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale for Adult (MUIS-A) and Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ). Totally 165 questionnaires were distributed, and 150 valid ones were collected, with a recovery rate of 90.9%. ResultsThe total uncertainty of illness score of the 150 patients with BOT ranged 48-107 and averaged (91.32±11.47). Their total score of coping modes was (45.27±5.32), among which the score of facing was (19.21±3.75), accounting for the highest score. There were statistically significant differences in uncertainty in illness scores between BOT patients with different age,marital status, educational background, place of residence, household income, medical payment and those who were familiar with their illness or not (P＜ 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that household income, medical payment, familiar with their own illness or not as well as facing, avoidance and submission were the factors affecting uncertainty in illness (P＜0.05). ConclusionsPatients with BOT show uncertainty of illness of different degrees, which is affected by multiple factors. Medical and nursing workers shall reduce patients' uncertainty in illness according to their actualities.
