Influence of timely incentive nursing on psychological status of patients with skin cancer
Objective To analyze the effect of timely incentive nursing on the psychological status of patients with skin cancer.Methods The clinical data of 120 patients with skin cancer admitted to Department of Dermatology,Henan People's Hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The 60 patients who took routine care were set as a control group,including 32 men and 28 women who were(41.20±2.01)years old;the 60 patients who took timely incentive nursing were set as an observation group,including 29 men and 31 women who were(41.30±2.33)years old.Through hospital observation and follow-up visit,the patients'psychological statuses were evaluated by Symptom Checklist 90(SCL-90),Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS),and Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS)1 d before and 30 d after the surgery.The treatment compliance levels were compared between the two groups.The patients'survival quality was evaluated by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire(EORTC QLQ-C30).t and x2 tests were applied.Results One day before the surgery,there were no statistical differences in the scores of SCL-90,SAS,SDS,EORTC QLQ-C30,and treatment compliance between the two groups(all P>0.05).Thirty days after the surgery,the scores of SCL-90,SAS,and SDS in the observation group were lower than those in the control group[(94.38±5.17)vs.(96.35±2.06),(29.41±2.35)vs.(30.32±1.36),and(27.18±1.11)vs.(28.20±2.35)],with statistical differences(t=2.742,2.596,and 3.040;P=0.007,0.011,and 0.003).The scores of treatment plan compliance,rehabilitation plan compliance,and recheck plan compliance of the Treatment Compliance Scale in the observation group were higher than those in the control group[(3.51±0.72)vs.(3.25±0.64),(3.19±0.36)vs.(3.06±0.25),and(2.63±0.55)vs..(2.32±0.48)],with statistical differences(t=2.091,2.297,and 3.289;P=0.039,0.023,and 0.001).The scores of positive and negative items of EORTC QLQ-C30 in the observation group were better than those in the control group[(45.98±6.04)vs.(43.15±5.77)and(29.33±4.06)vs.(31.15±3.12)],with statistical differences(t=2.624 and 2.753;P=0.010 and 0.007).Conclusion Timely incentive nursing for patients with skin cancer can significantly improve their psychological state,treatment compliance level,and survival quality.
