Effect of Home Care Based on Timing Theory on Self-efficacy and Psychological Status of Elderly Cervical Cancer Patients After Discharge from Hospital
Objective:To study the impact of home care based on timing theory on elderly cervical cancer patients after discharge from the hospital.Methods:A total of 186 cases of elderly patients with cervical cancer admitted to the hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were selected for the study,and were divided into the control group(n=93,conventional care model)and the observation group(n=93,home care model based on the timing theory)with the random number table method.Self-efficacy(GSES)was used to predict patients'self-efficacy at the time of admission,at the time of discharge,and 3 months after discharge,respectively.The Health Status Survey Scale(SF-36)was used to evaluate the quality of life in both groups,covering physical functioning(PF),physical functioning(RP),somatic pain(BP),general health(CH),social functioning(SF),emotional functioning(RE),mental health(MH),and vitality(VT).Self-assessment scale of anxiety(SAS)and self-assessment scale of depression(SDS)were used to assess and compare the psychological status of the patients.Results:At the time of discharge and 3 months after discharge,the GSES scores of patients in the observation group were higher than those of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=10.526,12.785,P<0.05).After the intervention,the SF-36 scores of the patients in the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=5.755,5.755,5.755,5.755,6.802,6.802,6.802,6.802;P<0.05).The SAS and SDS scores of the patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=11.123,11.700,P<0.05).Conclusion:Home care based on timing theory is more effective for elderly cervical cancer patients,which can significantly enhance their self-efficacy,improve quality of life,and reduce negative emotions.
