Chinese Journal of Modern Nursing 2018;24(16):1929-1933
Objective To explore the effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction on negative emotions, fatigue, sleep quality and life quality in cervical cancer patients with chemoradiotherapy. Methods From May 2016 to May 2017, 96 cervical cancer patients who treated in Dazhou Centeral Hospital of Sichuan Province were selected as subjects by convenience sampling. All of the patients were divided into observation group and control group with the random number table, 48 cases in each group. Patients of control group accepted conventional nursing. On this basis, patients of observation group were treated with mindfulness-based stress reduction. The scores of Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depressive Scale (SDS), fatigue, sleep quality and life quality were compared before and 8 weeks after intervention. Results There were no significant differences in the scores of SAS, SDS, fatigue, sleep quality and life quality before intervention (P>0.05). The score of SAS, SDS, fatigue and sleep quality of two groups all decreased after intervention compared with that before intervention, besides, those scores of observation group were lower than those of control group;the scores of dimensions of life quality of two groups all increased after intervention compared with those before intervention, in addition, those scores of observation group were higher than those of control group; all of the differences were significant (P< 0.05). Conclusions Mindfulness-based stress reduction are with strong operability. It can effectively relieve anxiety and depression of cervical cancer patients with chemoradiotherapy, improve the fatigue, sleep quality and life quality. It is worth to be used widely.

Objective To understand the effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction(MBSR)on death anxiety and job burnout in Intensive Care Unit(ICU) nurses. Methods Using cluster sampling method, ICU nurses from two ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Dazhou city of Sichuan Province were selected as the research objects. In order to avoid mutual influence, nurses were divided into groups according to hospitals. Totally 32 ICU nurses in one hospital were set as the control group and 38 ICU nurses in another hospital as the observation group. During the course of the study, one nurse in the observation group quit the study due to personal reasons, and 37 nurses finally completed the study. The nurses in the control group did not receive any intervention, while the nurses in the observation group were adopted the MBSR intervention. The intervention effect was evaluated by the Chinese Version of Templer-death Anxiety Scale(CT-DAS) and Job Burnout Scale. Results There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups before intervention in terms of their Death Anxiety Scale score (P>0.05); the score in Death Anxiety Scale in the observation group was lower than the control group after intervention and the difference was statistically significant (P< 0.05). Before the intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in the total score and the scores of each dimension of Job Burnout Scale between the two groups (P>0.05); after intervention, the total score of Job Burnout Scale and the score of "emotional fatigue" in the observation group were lower than those in the control group with statistical significances (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the scores of indifference to work and personal lacking in sense of achievement between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusions MBSR therapy can reduce the death anxiety level and job burnout of ICU nurses.
