Application Effect of Acupoint Massage Combined with Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction in Chemotherapy Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Objective:To investigate the application effect of acupoint massage and mindfulness-based stress reduction in chemotherapy patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Method:A total of 126 patients with NSCLC receiving chemotherapy from Clinical Oncology School of Fujian Medical University from September 2022 to February 2023 were selected.According to the intervention methods,they were divided into acupoint group(acupoint massage,n=42),mindfulness-based stress reduction group(mindfulness-based stress reduction,n=42)and combined group(acupoint massage combined with mindfulness-based stress reduction,n=42).Sleep,cancer-related fatigue,quality of life and pain before and after intervention were compared among the three groups.Result:After intervention,the scores of sleep time,sleep disorder,sleep efficiency and sleep quality in the combined group were lower than those in the acupoint group and mindfulness-based stress reduction group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After intervention,the scores of emotion,behavior,sensation and cognition in the combined group were lower than those in the acupoint group and mindfulness-based stress reduction group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The pain of combined group was better than that of acupoint group and mindfulness-based stress reduction group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The scores of physiological,functional,emotional,social/family and lung cancer additional modules in combined group were higher than those in acupoint group and mindfulness-based stress reduction group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Combined application of acupoint massage and mindfulness-based stress reduction in patients with NSCLC chemotherapy can reduce cancer-related fatigue,relieve body pain,improve sleep quality and improve patients'quality of life.
