Application effects of hospice care in patients with advanced liver cancer
Objective:To observe application effects of hospice care in patients with advanced liver cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 90 patients with advanced liver cancer admitted to this hospital from September 2020 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.According to different nursing methods,they were divided into control group and observation group,45 cases in each group.The control group was given routine nursing,while the observation group was given the hospice care on the basis of that of the control group.The scores of negative emotions[self-rating anxiety scale(SAS),self-rating depression scale(SDS)],palliative care outcome scale(POS),coping style[medical coping mode questionnaire(MCMQ)]and quality of life[World Health Organization quality of life-brief(WHOQOL-BREF)]were compared between the two groups before and after the nursing.Results:After the nursing,the scores of SAS and SDS in the two groups were lower than those before the nursing,those in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After the nursing,the POS scores of the two groups were lower than those before the nursing,that in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After the nursing,the facing scores of the two groups were higher than those before the nursing,and that in the observation group was higher than that in the control group;the avoidance and yielding scores of the two groups were lower than those before the nursing,and those in the observation group were lower than those in the control group;and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Further,after the nursing,the WHOQOL-BREF scores of mental health,social relations,physical health and surrounding environment in the two groups were higher than those before the nursing,those in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusions:The hospice care for the patients with advanced liver cancer can reduce the negative emotions,improve the palliative care outcomes and the coping style,and improve the quality of life.Moreover,it is superior to the routine nursing.
