Application of mindfulness meditation combined with empathic nursing in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy based on"Shaoyang as pivot"theory
Objective:To explore the application effect of mindfulness meditation combined with empathy nursing on breast cancer chemotherapy patients based on the"Shaoyang as pivot"theory.Methods:Two hundred patients receiving chemothera-py for breast cancer in our hospital from July 2021 to June 2023 were randomly divided into the study group(mindfulness medi-tation intervention)and the control group(mindfulness meditation combined with empathy nursing intervention)according to the random number table method.The mental state,treatment compliance,and quality of life of the two groups were compared[(QLICP-BR for Patients with Breast cancer chemotherapy)].Results:After the intervention,compared with the control group,the proportion of mild anxiety in the study group was increased,and the proportion of moderate anxiety and severe anxi-ety was decreased(U=-2.343).In the study group,the proportion of mild depression without depressive symptoms in-creased,and the proportion of moderate depression and severe depression decreased(U=-2.238).The proportion of com-plete compliance increased,while the proportion of non-compliance decreased(U=-2.983).The QLICP-BR score of the study group and control group was higher than before the intervention(t=30.590,21.580),and the QLICP-BR score of the study group was higher than that of the control group(t=9.483).All differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Based on the theory of"Shaoyang as the centre",the application of mindfulness meditation combined with empath-ic nursing in breast cancer chemotherapy patients can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms,and improve their treatment compliance and quality of life.
