Abstract:
Objective :To explore the effects of“radiotherapy assistant”application on lung cancer patients who receive radiotherapy.
Methods :A total of 120 patients with lung cancer who received radiotherapy in Hangzhou Cancer Hospital from March to September 2017 were recruited and randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group. The patients in the control group received the routine health education,while the ones in the experimental group performed the“radiotherapy assistant”application focused on interactive guidance. Before and after the intervention,the scores of treatment-nursing compliance and self-management efficacy between the two groups were compared.
Results :After the intervention,the compliance scores of radiotherapy treatment,health behaviors,regular review,moderate exercise,medication and diets in the experimental group were 2.77±0.43,2.67±0.51,2.68±0.50,2.45±0.75,2.77±0.43 and 2.65±0.55;the ones in the control group were 2.62±0.49,2.42±0.59,2.55±0.50,2.37±0.64,2.67±0.48 and 2.37±0.69. The scores of the six items of compliance in the two groups were all improved compared to the ones before the intervention,but the interaction between the groups and intervention time was not statistically significant（P>0.05）. The scores of positive attitude,self-decompression,self-decision and total self- management efficacy in the experimental group were 52.48±7.69,10.51±3.31,36.88±6.15 and 97.62±12.87,respectively;the ones in the control group were 37.38±10.44,5.70±1.51,27.58±9.41,and 92.17±11.19. The scores of the two groups were all improved compared to the ones before the intervention,and the ranges of the scores improved in the experimental group were wider than those in the control group.
Conclusion :The“radiotherapy assistant”application can significantly improve the self-management efficacy of patients who receive the lung cancer radiotherapy,but its effect on the improvement of treatment compliance requires long-term intervention to verify.
