Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of life review therapy on spiritual comfort and dignity among patients with advanced bladder cancer, to provide reference for the improvement of quality of death outcomes.Methods:A total of 60 patients with advanced bladder cancer who were admitted to the Cancer Hospital of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences from March 2018 to January 2020 were selected as the research objects. Randomly divided all the patients into the control group and the experimental group, 30 cases in each group. The control group was given routine end-of-life care, and the experimental group was given 5 times of life review therapy on the basis of the control group. The effect of the intervention was evaluated by the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-being Scale(FACIT-Sp-12) and the Patient Dignity Inventory (PDI).Results:Finally, there were 28 cases in the experimental group and 29 cases in the control group. After the intervention, the scores of peace, meaning and belief demensions and total scores in FACIT-Sp-12 in the experimental group were (10.61 ± 2.23), (11.14 ± 1.90), (10.67 ± 1.79) and (32.36 ± 3.28), respectively, which was significantly higher than those in the control group (8.34 ± 2.24), (10.03 ± 1.49), (8.66 ± 1.89) and (27.03 ± 3.61), the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.45-5.82, all P<0.05). The psychological state, dependence, mental peace, social support demension scores and total scores of PDI in the experimental group were (8.64 ± 2.06), (3.14 ± 0.89), (4.21 ± 0.79), (2.43 ± 0.69) and (28.46 ± 4.98), which were significantly lower than those in the control group (10.34 ± 2.93), (4.17 ± 1.17), (4.93 ± 1.33), (3.17 ± 1.07) and (34.01 ± 4.79), the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.48-4.28, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Life review therapy can promote spiritual comfort and alleviate dignity destroyed in patients with advanced bladder cancer.
