ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of nursing support on negative emotion and quality of life in patients with brain tumor. Methods A total of 139 cases of brain tumor in Shandong Provincial Cancer Hospital of Shandong University from September 2014 to February 2016 by convenient sampling , according to the random number table, they were divided into the control group and the intervention group. The patients in the control group were given routine discharge follow-up, while the patients in the intervention group were given emote team nursing support on the basis of the control group. We used anxiety self rating scale (SAS), depression self rating scale (SDS) and quality of life assessment scale (QLICP-BN) evaluation two groups of patients with anxiety, depression and quality of life level in the patients when they were discharged from hospital and discharged after 1 month, 3 months. Results Comparing the two groups of patients with anxiety and depression level and quality of life in the hospital, there was no statistically significant difference (t=0.187,0.174, P > 0.05);1 month after discharge, the scores of SAS and SDS respectively (62.97 ± 485), (63.83 ± 5.24) points in the intervention group, the scores of SAS and SDS respectively (64.58 ± 5.15), (65.17 ± 5.11) points in the control group, the difference is statistically significant (t=2.753, 2.321, P<0.05);3 month after discharge, the scores of SAS and SDS respectively(61.04±4.13),(62.25±3.95)points in the intervention group, the scores of SAS and SDS respectively(63.91 ± 4.73),(64.83 ± 4.29)points in the control group, the difference is statistically significant (t=4.621,5.196, P < 0.01); 1month, 3 months after discharge, the total quality of life scores respectively (65.28 ± 12.53), (68.71 ± 12.78) points in the intervention group, the total quality of life scores respectively (62.07 ± 11.27), (63.86 ± 12.13) points in the control group, the difference is statistically significant (t=2.439, 3.803, P < 0.01). The intervention effects and time effects of anxiety, depression and quality of life were statistically significant (W Mauchly's were 0.823, 0.782, 0.757, P <0.05). Conclusions Remote team nursing support can effectively reduce the negative emotions of patients with brain tumor, improve the quality of life, can be used in the department to promote the quality of clinical care.
