Effects of emotional intervention based on traditional Chinese medicine theory on anxiety and depression symptoms in young patients with cancers
Objective To explore the effects of emotional intervention based on traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)theory on anxiety and depression symptoms in young patients with cancers.Methods A total of 70 young inpatients with cancers in our hospital from August 2021 to August 2022 were selected and randomized 1:1 to receive routine psychological intervention(the control group)or emotional intervention based on TCM theory(the treatment group),and the intervention outcomes of the two groups were calculated after 4 weeks,aiming to compare the changes in anxiety and depression symptoms(evaluated by the Hamilton Anxiety Scale[HAMA]and the Beck Depression Inventory[BDI],respectively),the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale([CD-RISC],scaled by five factors:positive acceptance of change,spiritual influences,tolerance of negative affect,control,and competence),and the Trust in Nurse Scale scores(scaled by 6 items and 2 factors,including attitude and care,competency and security)before and after intervention.Results After treatment,HAMA and BDI scores in the both groups were decreased(P＜0.05),which decreased notably in the treatment group compared with the control group(P＜0.05).The five factors and total scores of CD-RISC in the both groups were increased(P＜0.05),the increase in the treat-ment group was more common than the control group(P＜0.05).The two factors and total scores on the Trust in Nurse Scale in the both groups were increased(P＜0.05),the increase in the treatment group was more prevalent compared with the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The emotional intervention based on TCM theory in the clinical care of young patients with cancers has definite effectiveness,effectively alleviates the patients'anxiety and depression symptoms,improves the patients'men-tal adaptive abilities,enhances the degree of trust between nurses and patients,and helps the patients facing the diseases posi-tively and optimistically.
