Methods This study adopted the method of quasi-experimental research,100 patients with cancer chemotherapy were divided into the experimental group(50 cases),and the control group(50 cases).Based on conventional care,the experimental group received 3 weeks of nursing intervention based on story theory.The scores of mood and quality of life were collected in the 1st day and 23rd day after chemotherapy by using Profile of Mood States-Short Form(POMS-SF)and Quality of Life Questionnaire-core(QLQ-C30),thus evaluated the effect of intervention. Results The scores of POMS-SF in the 1st day and 23rd day after chemotherapy were (17.28±5.41),(35.84±12.35)points in the experimental group,and the difference was significant(t=7.54, P<0.05).The scores of QLQ-C30 in the 1st day and 23rd day after chemotherapy were(7.72±1.53),(8.17± 0.94) points in the control group, and the difference was significant(t =-4.07, P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in the scores of POMS-SF and QLQ-C30 between the 1st day and 23rd day after chemotherapy in the control group(P>0.05). Conclusions The nursing intervention based on story theory demonstrated significant improvement of negative emotions and quality of life, which is a quite practical psychological care for cancer chemotherapy patients.

Objective This paper reviews the research context of the fear of cancer recurrence abroad, and presents the research hotspots and frontiers in this field, which will further provide references for the research of the fear of cancer recurrence in China. Methods Web of Science database was retrieved,the time of papers published, the number of publications and periodicals were analyzed.The Map drawing was accomplished with the help of Histcite software. Results Total 5322 effective literatures were investigated,most of the papers are published by the United States, Butow P was the high yield authors. and the core journal is "PSYCHO-ONCOLOGY". High frequency key words mainly concentrated on cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, quality of life, prognosis, chemotherapy (symptom distress and management). Conclusion In the aspect of fear of cancer recurrence, Europe and America are in a leading position, compared with the international level,there is still a gap in the field of FCR in China , the depth and breadth of research needs to be extended further, We should keep path with the international FCR research hotspot, to broaden our research scope and improve the quality of related research.

Objective:To understand the current status of social support for patients with oral cancer after surgery, and to explore the correlation between it and the anticipatory grief of the primary caregivers, so as to provide a reference for medical and nursing staff to take effective intervention.Methods:From December 2021 to April 2022, 160 patients with oral cancer and their main caregivers who were admitted to the Head and Neck Cancer Surgery of West China Hospital of Stomatology affiliated to Sichuan University were selected by convenience sampling. The subjects were investigated with the General Information Questionnaire, Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and Anticipatory Grief Scale (AGS) . Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between the social support of patients with oral cancer after surgery and the anticipatory grief of their main caregivers. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of social support of patients with oral cancer after surgery. A total of 160 questionnaires were issued, 159 of which were valid, and the valid recovery rate was 99.4% (159/160) .Results:Among 159 patients with oral cancer after surgery, the total score of SSRS was (37.43±7.99) , and the average score of items was (3.74±0.80) . Among 159 primary caregivers, the total score of AGS was (70.60±15.90) , and the average score of items was (2.62±0.59) . Pearson correlation analysis showed that the total score of SSRS in oral cancer patients was negatively correlated with the total score of AGS in their primary caregivers ( P<0.01) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the primary caregivers' anticipatory grief of caregivers with oral cancer after surgery was the influencing factor of the patients social support ( P<0.05) , which could independently explain 11.2% of the variation ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The social support of patients with oral cancer after surgery is at a medium and above level, and the anticipatory grief of their main caregivers is at a medium level. The anticipatory grief of caregivers with oral cancer after surgery is the influencing factor of social support of the patients. Clinical medical and nursing staff should pay more attention to the psychological state of patients and their main caregivers, improve the social support of patients.
