Abstract:
Objective:To understand the current status of social support for patients with oral cancer after surgery, and to explore the correlation between it and the anticipatory grief of the primary caregivers, so as to provide a reference for medical and nursing staff to take effective intervention.Methods:From December 2021 to April 2022, 160 patients with oral cancer and their main caregivers who were admitted to the Head and Neck Cancer Surgery of West China Hospital of Stomatology affiliated to Sichuan University were selected by convenience sampling. The subjects were investigated with the General Information Questionnaire, Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and Anticipatory Grief Scale (AGS) . Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between the social support of patients with oral cancer after surgery and the anticipatory grief of their main caregivers. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of social support of patients with oral cancer after surgery. A total of 160 questionnaires were issued, 159 of which were valid, and the valid recovery rate was 99.4% (159/160) .Results:Among 159 patients with oral cancer after surgery, the total score of SSRS was (37.43±7.99) , and the average score of items was (3.74±0.80) . Among 159 primary caregivers, the total score of AGS was (70.60±15.90) , and the average score of items was (2.62±0.59) . Pearson correlation analysis showed that the total score of SSRS in oral cancer patients was negatively correlated with the total score of AGS in their primary caregivers ( P<0.01) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the primary caregivers' anticipatory grief of caregivers with oral cancer after surgery was the influencing factor of the patients social support ( P<0.05) , which could independently explain 11.2% of the variation ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The social support of patients with oral cancer after surgery is at a medium and above level, and the anticipatory grief of their main caregivers is at a medium level. The anticipatory grief of caregivers with oral cancer after surgery is the influencing factor of social support of the patients. Clinical medical and nursing staff should pay more attention to the psychological state of patients and their main caregivers, improve the social support of patients.
