Effects of positive psychological suggestion and emotional release therapy on psychological distress and cancer-related fatigue in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy
Objective To analyze the effects of positive psychological suggestion and emotional release therapy on psychological distress and cancer-related fatigue in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy were analyzed. Methods A total of 110 patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy were divided into observation group (emotional release therapy,n=64) and control group ( positive psychological suggestion,n=64 ) according to different nursing programs. Before and at 3 months after the intervention,hospital anxiety and depression Scale ( HADS) was used to evaluate the adverse mood of two groups,and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index ( PSQI) was used to evaluate the sleep quality. Psychological distress thermometer ( DT) was applied to evaluate the degree of psychological distress,and piper fatigue scale ( PFS ) was used to assess cancer-related fatigue. Herth Hope Index ( HHI ) was applied to evaluate the hope. Disease control rates were compared between two groups of patients during treatment. Results After the intervention,HADS (anxiety,depression) score of observation group was lower than that of control group (P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in observation group versus control group:the patients without DT (9 versus 1,14. 06% versus 2,17%) and the patients with extreme DT (0 versus 5,0.00% versus 2.17%;P<0.05). PFS (behavior,emotion,perception,cognition) scores and PSQI scores of observation group were lower than those of control group,while HHI score was higher than that of control group ( P<0.05 ).The disease control rate of observation group was higher than that of control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Emotional release therapy is more effective than positive psychological suggestion in improving mood,psychological distress,hope and sleep quality of the patients with breast cancer,which is conducive to enhancing chemotherapy effect and improving prognosis.
