Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of advance directives on hope level and coping style in cancer patients. Methods A total of 168 cancerous person were selected as the research sample according to conveniences sampling. They were divided into two groups according to whether they were set up or not advance directives. A total of 88 patients without advance directives (control group) was given full rescue, and a total of 80 patients (experimental group) was given medical care according to the patient's prior wishes. The scores of the Cancer Hope Scale and the Medical Coping Questionnaire were compared between the two groups. Results The score of the Cancer Hope Scale was (24.83 ± 2.59) points in experimental group, (30.09±3.36) points in control group. The score of the Medical Coping Questionnaire was (41.21±2.65) points in experimental group, (35.85±2.63) points in control group. There was significant difference between the two groups (t=11.861, 17.817, P <0.01). Conclusions There are many mental health problems in cancer patients. Patients with advance directives can face the disease with a more positive attitude.
