Effect of exogenous social support combined with internal drive stimulation on self-perceived burden of breast cancer patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery
Objective To investigate the impact of external social support and internal drive stimulation on the self-perceived burden of breast cancer patients who are undergoing breast-conserving surgery.The findings of this study will provide valuable insights for clinical management.Methods A total of 110 breast cancer patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery were selected for the study.They were admitted to the Department of General Surgery and randomly divided into two groups:55 cases in the control group and 55 cases in the observation group.The routine nursing care was given to the control group,while the observation group received exogenous social support combined with endogenous stimulation interventions.The study compared the burden of self-feeling,the degree of fear of disease progression,the level of social support,and the ability of psychosocial adaptability of the two groups before and after the interventions.Results Before the intervention,we compared the scores of the Self-Perceived Burden Scale(SPBS),Fear of Disease Progression Simplified Scale(FoP-Q-SF),Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS),and Psychosocial Adaptation to Breast Cancer Questionnaire of the two groups.We found no statistically significant differences between the groups(all P>0.05).Following the intervention,both groups showed a decrease in SPBS and FoP-Q-SF scores compared to before the intervention.Additionally,the observation group had lower scores than the control group.Conversely,both groups showed an increase in PSSS and psychosocial adaptation questionnaire scores for breast cancer compared to before the intervention.Furthermore,the observation group had higher scores than the control group.All differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusions Combining external social support with internal drive intervention can not only alleviate the self-perceived burden and fear of disease progression in breast cancer patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery,but it can also improve their social support level and ability to adapt psychosocially.
