Abstract:
This study was aimed to discuss the relations between relieving depression and benefit findings for advanced cancer patients.A total of 80 advanced cancer patients with the anxiety / depression assessment of more than 7 points and less than 15 points,were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group,in comprehensive hospitals.Finally,76 cases were included with 39 cases in the intervention group,and 37 cases in the control group.The progressive muscle relaxation training (PMRT) was used in the control group.Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) special technique (i.e.,TCM five-element musicotherapy plus PMRT) was used in the intervention group.The reduced fraction of the Benefit Finding Scale (BFS) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were used in the effect evaluation after 8-week intervention.The results showed that after 8-week treatment,the reduced fractions of BFS and HADS in the intervention group were obviously higher than the control group with statistical significance.The variation tendencies of BFS and HADS in the intervention group were obviously higher than the control group with statistical significance.There were 8 individual values in BFS of the intervention group were higher than the control group with statistical significance.It was concluded that the benefit findings for advanced cancer patients were related to the application of TCM special techniques,can improve the levels of benefit findings among advanced cancer patients.It enriched and perfected the depression regulation plan of cancer patients by TCM special techniques.
