The psychological status [Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) , Psychological Distress Thermometer (DT) ] , intimacy [Intimacy Satisfaction Questionnaire (QRI) ] , self-disclosure level [Pain Exposure Index Scale (DDI) ] and Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30 (QLQ-C30) were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention.Results:After the intervention, the HAMA score, DT score and bilateral avoidance communication score of the two groups were lower than those before the intervention, and HAMA score, DT score and bilateral avoidance communication score of the observation group after the intervention were lower than those of the control group ( P<0.05) . The QRI score, DDI score, demand/avoidance communication score, constructive communication score, physical function, role function, emotional function, cognitive function, social function and overall quality of life scores in the two groups after the intervention were higher than those before the intervention ( P<0.05) . And the QRI score, DDI score, demand/avoidance communication score, constructive communication score, physical function, role function, emotional function, cognitive function, social function and overall quality of life scores in the observation group after intervention were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05) .
