Objective To observe the level of self-esteem of patients undergoing hepatic arterial chemo-embolization(TACE)and to analyze the related influencing factors.Methods A total of 91 TACE patients admitted to the hospital from January 2021 to October 2023 were selected for this study,and the self-esteem level of the patients was assessed with reference to the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale(RSES),and the investi-gators prepared a general data questionnaire which included possible factors,and linear regression was used to explore the relevant influences factors of the self-esteem level of the TACE patients.Results Ninety-one TA-CE patients were evaluated and the mean RSES score was(27.94±4.55).Comparison of RSES scores of pa-tients with different education,average monthly family income,hope level,and post-traumatic growth(PTG)level information showed statistically significant differences(P<0.05);comparison of RSES scores of pa-tients with different occupations,spousal status,and other information showed no statistically significant differences(P>0.05).After linear regression exploration,the results showed that education of junior high school and below,average monthly family income<5,000 yuan,low level of hope,and low level of PTG were all influential factors for the self-esteem level of TACE patients(P<0.05).Conclusion The self-esteem level of TACE patients may be affected by economic status,hope level,educational background and PTG level.
