Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of acceptance and implementation therapy on anxiety and depression in cancer patients'spouse. Methods The spouses of 50 hospitalized patients from January to June 2014 were assigned into the control group and the spouses of another 50 cases of hospitalized patients from July to December 2014 into the observation group . All the patients received routine care methods. The control group received general health education and the spouses in the observation group were managed with acceptance and implementation therapy, totally for 3 times. After the intervention, the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were used to evaluate the levels of anxiety and depressions in both groups. Results Before intervention, there were no differences in SAS and SDS scores between the groups (P>0.05). After intervention, the SAS scores in the observation group and the control group scores were (48.36 ± 6.28) and (55.11 ± 6.74), respectively, with statistically significant difference (t=7.530, P<0.05). The SDS scores of the observation group and control group were (50.03 ± 4.12) and (58.50 ± 4.63) respectively, with statistically significant differences (t=6.672, P<0.05). The SAS and SDS score of observation group were lower than those before intervention (t = 7.283,7.524, all P < 0.05). Conclusion The acceptance and implementation therapy can effectively alleviate the anxiety and depression in the spouses of those patients with cancer.
