Objective To investigate the effect of guided health education on the psychological state of breast cancer(BC)patients undergoing radiotherapy.Method A total of 65 BC patients who underwent radiotherapy were divided in-to observation group(32 cases)and control group(33 cases)according to different intervention methods.The observation group received guided health education intervention and the control group received routine intervention.The mental state[positive and negative affect schedule(PANAS)],fear of disease progression[fear of progression questionnaire-short form(FoP-Q-SF)],incidence of adverse reactions and satisfaction[Newcastle satisfaction with nursing scale(NSNS)]were compared between the two groups.Result After intervention,the positive emotion scores of both groups were higher than those before intervention,while the negative emotion scores of both groups were lower than those before interven-tion,and the positive emotion score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group,while the negative emotion score was lower than that of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After inter-vention,the FoP-Q-SF scale scores in both groups were lower than those before intervention,and the FoP-Q-SF scale score in observation group was lower than that in control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The total incidence of adverse reactions in observation group was lower than that in control group,and satisfaction rate was higher than that in control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Guided health education can improve the mental state of BC radiotherapy patients,reduce the fear of disease progression and the risk of adverse reactions,and improve the overall satisfaction.
