Objective:To explore the status of social alienation among survivors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. From October 2021 to January 2022, 200 survivors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma reviewed in the radiotherapy department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University were investigated by General Data Questionnaire, General Alienation Scale (GAS), Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS) and Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS).Results:The total score of GAS in survivors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma was (37.47 ± 2.88) points. The total scores of GAS were positively correlated with the total score and each dimension score of CFS and SPBS ( r values were 0.312-0.524, all P<0.01). Multivariable linear regression showed that the duration of diagnosis, whether or not having hearing loss, the number of symptoms, cancer fatigue and self-perceived burden were the main influencing factors of social alienation in survivors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma( t values were -3.99-4.86, all P<0.05), which could explain 49% of the total variation. Conclusions:Clinical medical staff should attach importance to social alienation of surviors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. More attention should be paid to patients with less than one year of diagnosis, a large number of symptoms and hearing loss, and targeted intervention should be conducted to reduce the degree of social alienation of patients and promote their integration into society.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors of treatment decision dilemma in the pa-tients with intracranial aneurysm.Methods A total of 210 patients with intracranial aneurysms hospitalized in the neurosurgery department of this hospital from January to December 2022 were selected as the research subjects.The questionnaire survey on the patients was conducted by using the general data questionnaire,De-cision Dilemma Scale (DDS),Perceptive Social Support Scale (PSSS) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).Results The scores of decisional dilemma,perceived social support,anxiety and depression of the patients with intracranial aneurysm were (38.08±14.05) points,(50.59±3.38) points,(11.12±3.46) points and (9.56±2.11) points respectively.The multiple linear regression analysis showed that the age,fam-ily per capita monthly income,aneurysm diameter,social support and anxiety were the main influencing fac-tors of treatment decision dilemma in the patients with intracranial aneurysm (P<0.05).Conclusion The de-cision-making dilemma in the patients with intracranial aneurysms is in a moderate level.Medical care staff should for-mulate the targeted decision support measures according to the patient' s age,economic status,aneurysm size,patient's social support and anxiety situation to help the patients to improve their decision-making level.
