Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of psychological intervention on the cancer-related fatigue and hope level of patients with gastric cancer under the perspective of positive psychology. MethodsBy convenience sampling, 140 patients with gastric cancer admitted from February 2016 to October 2018 in Department of Gastroenterology, Rui＇an People＇s Hospital of Zhejiang Province were selected and divided into the control group and observation group with 70 patients in each group based on random number table. Routine nursing care was given in both of the two groups while the psychological intervention based on positive psychology was carried out in the observation group. The Piper Fatigue Scale(PFS) and the Herth Hope Index(HHI) were adopted to evaluate and measure cancer-related fatigue and hope level of patients. The satisfaction rates of patients were compared by using Satisfactory Questionnaire. ResultsAfter intervention, the dimensional scores of behavior, emotion, physics, cognition and total score of PFS in the observation group were higher than those before intervention and the control group; each dimensional score and the total score of HHI in the observation group were all higher than those before intervention and the control group with statistical differences (P＜0.05). The nursing satisfaction rate in the observation group was 92.86%, higher than that of the control group (82.86%) with statistical difference (P＜0.05). ConclusionsPsychological intervention in patients with gastric cancer from the perspective of positive psychology can alleviate cancer-related fatigue and improve patients＇sense of hope.
