Effect of nursing based on Snyder's hope theory on children with acute leukemia and their caregivers
Objective To explore the effect of communication nursing based on Snyder's hope theory on the treatment emotions of children with acute leukemia and the caregivers'knowledge,cognition,and psychological state.Methods A total of 150 children with acute leukemia admitted to the hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 who met the inclusion conditions were selected as the research subjects.All children were confirmed by immunohistochemical staining,bone marrow morphological cytology and other examinations.According to the principle of balanced and comparable baseline data between groups,they were divided into a control group and an observation group,with 75 cases in each group,and one primary caregiver for each child.Children in the control group and their caregivers received routine care,while children in the observation group and their caregivers received health education based on Snyder's theory of hope,including three aspects:graded care,family empowerment,and family mindfulness-based stress reduction.Children in the two groups and caregivers continued nursing intervention for 1 month.The treatment emotions[depression self-rating scale for children(DSRSC)and the screen for child anxiety related emotional disorders(SCARED)]of the two groups of children before and after the intervention,and the knowledge and cognitive scores and psychological states(Herth hope scale)of the children's caregivers before and after the intervention were compared.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the DSRSC and SCARED scores between the two groups before intervention(P>0.05).After intervention,the DSRSC and SCARED scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the cognitive scores of caregivers between the two groups before intervention(P>0.05).After intervention,the cognitive score of caregiver in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the Herth scores of caregivers between the two groups before intervention(P>0.05).After intervention,the Herth score of caregiver in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Communication nursing based on Snyder's hope theory had a good effect when applied to children with acute leukemia and their caregivers.It can not only effectively improve the negative emotions of children with acute leukemia,but also enrich the caregiver's own knowledge and cognitive level and improve their level of hope,so that they can actively assist children to cooperate with medical staff,promote a harmonious doctor-nurse-patient relationship,and ensure the smooth implementation of treatment and nursing care.
