Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of sandplay therapy on distress and quality of life in patients with tumor during radiotherapy.Method:A total of 49 patients with tumor during radiotherapy admitted to Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center from January 2019 to December 2019 were enrolled, and divided into experimental group (21 cases) and control group (28 cases) by stratified random method. Both groups received routine nursing, and extra sandplay therapy was given to the experimental group. The degree of psychological distress and quality of life of the two groups before and after the intervention were compared by using the Distress Thermometer and the five functional dimensions of the life quality core scale of European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer.Results:After the intervention, the Distress Thermometer scores of both groups were lower than those before the intervention, and the score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group. The difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Before and after the intervention, the decrease of dimension scores (physical function, role function, cognitive function, emotional function, social function) in the experimental group were less than those in the control group. The differences were statistically significant ( P< 0.01) . Conclusions:Sandplay therapy can reduce the distress and improve the quality of life for patients with tumor during radiotherapy.
