Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the composition of psychological symptom cluster of patients after plastic surgery and analyze the correlation between psychological symptom cluster and quality of life.Methods:Convenient sampling was performed to select 102 patients who were admitted to Department of Plastic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from April 2019 to July 2020. General information questionnaire, Profile of Mood States (POMS) and The World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) were used to conduct the survey. Exploratory factor analysis was used to extract psychological symptom clusters and the correlation between the symptom clusters and quality of life was analyzed.Results:A total of 102 questionnaires were issued and 102 valid questionnaires were returned, with a valid recovery rate of 100%. A total of 30 psychological symptoms were selected, and the top 5 most frequently were anxiety, worry, tension, uncertainty and anger. Through exploratory factor analysis, three psychological symptom groups were obtained, including tension-anxiety symptom cluster (worry, tension, anxiety, restlessness) , information lack symptom cluster (uncertainty, confusion, helplessness, panic) and irritability symptom cluster (anger, anger, resentment) . After plastic surgery, the tension-anxiety symptom cluster, information lack symptom cluster and irritability symptom cluster were all negatively correlated with quality of life ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The types of psychological symptom cluster of patients after plastic surgery are diverse and complex. Among them, the stress-anxiety symptom cluster, information lack symptom cluster and irritability symptom cluster are negatively related to quality of life, which aggravates the patient's symptom experience and affects their postoperative quality of life. Medical staff should pay attention to the occurrence and development of symptom cluster and formulate reasonable intervention measures from the perspective of psychological symptom group nursing to improve quality of life of patients.
