Objective To explore the application effect of nursing intervention based on stress and adaptation theory in patients with malignant tumor chemotherapy.Methods 92 cases of malignant tumor chemotherapy patients admitted to the hospital from July 2022 to June 2023 were selected as the study subjects,they were divided into a control group and an observation group according to the principle that the basic characteristics of the groups were comparable,with 46 cases in each group.The control group received routine nursing intervention,the observation group received nursing intervention based on stress and adaptation theory on the basis of the control group.The Mastery of Sires Instrument(MSI),Profile of Mood Status(POMS),and Meaning of Life Scale(MiLS)scores of cancer patients were compared between the two groups.Results Before the intervention,there was no statistically significant difference in the total scores of change,maturity,affirmation,acceptance score and stress coping ability scale between the two groups(P>0.05).After the intervention,the total scores of change,maturity,affirmation,acceptance score and stress coping ability scale in the observation group were higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Before the intervention,there was no statistically significant difference in the scores of anger-hostility,fatigue-dullness,depression-dejection,confusion-disorder,nervousness-anxiety and energy-vigor between the two groups(P>0.05).After the intervention,the scores of anger-hostility,fatigue-dullness,depression-dejection,confusion-disorder,nervousness-anxiety in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,and the scores of energy-vigor were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Before the intervention,there was no statistically significant difference in the scores and total scores of each dimension of the significance scale for cancer patients in the two groups(P>0.05),after the intervention,the scores and total scores of each dimension of the significance scale for cancer patients in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Nursing intervention based on stress and adaptation theory could improve the stress coping ability of chemotherapy patients with malignant tumors,improve the mood state,and improve the level of meaning of life.
