Objective:To explore the effects of information-motivation-behavior (IMB) model combined with solution focused approach (SFA) in primary large liver cancer (PLLC) .Methods:From January 2017 to January 2018, this study selected 123 PLLC patients of the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University as subjects by convenience sampling. All of patients were divided into group A ( n=61) and group B ( n=62) with the random number table. Group A carried out the routine nursing model, while group B implemented the IMB model combined with the SFA. The intervention effects were evaluated with the Quality of Life-Liver Cancer (QOL-LC) , the Chinese Strategies Used by People to Promote Health (C-SUPPH) and the Herth Hope Index (HHI) . Results:Among those PLLC patients between two groups, there were no statistical differences in the scores of QOL-LC, C-SUPPH and HHI on admission ( P>0.05) . The scores of QOL-LC, C-SUPPH and HHI of PLLC patients in group B at discharge, 15 days after discharge were higher than those in group A with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:In the process of clinical intervention for PLLC patients, scientific and reasonable IMB model combined with SFA based on patients' condition can improve the scores of QOL-LC, C-SUPPH and HHI which is one of the subsidiary intervention for improving the whole therapeutic effects and has good application as well as promotion values.
