Abstract:
Objective To explore the living situations of primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC) patients of different ages after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).Methods By convenience sampling,153 PHC patients after TACE were enrolled from a Glass 1 Grade A hospital.Their data were collected with general data questionnaire,Zung's SDS scale,quality of life cancer (QOL-LC),memorial symptom assessment scales and social support scale to investigate the PHC patients.Results The differences were statistically significant in view of cultural level,marriage status,occupation,state of the economy,family type,preoperative health training,AFP (alpha fetoprotein),and physical stamina score (all P＜0.05).Among the groups of different ages,there were also statistically significant differences in terms of depression,life quality,symptom burdens and social support.More exactly,the level of depression in the group of middle age was significantly higher than that of the group of old age;The symptom burdens of the group of young age and middle age were higher than those of the group of old age.The social support and life quality of the groups of young age and middle age was both higher than that of the group of old age (all P＜0.05).Conclusions The living situations of PHC patients of different ages after TACE are different.Doctors and nurses should consider the differences in their depression,quality of life,and social support so as to take pertinent interventions.
