ABSTRACT
Objective:To construct a esophageal cancer module with Chinese characteristics based on MD Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI) public scale, develop the Perioperative Esophageal Cancer Symptoms Assessment Scale combining above two parts.Methods:The original item pool was formulated through literature review, clinical interviews, and reference of existing symptoms assessment tools. After two rounds of expert evaluation and pilot survey, the preliminary Perioperative Esophageal Cancer Symptoms Assessmment Scale was developed combining Chinese MDASI (MDASI-C). A total of 150 perioperative esophageal cancer patients was assessed using the new scale, the included items were analyzed one by one, the reliability, validity and sensitivity of scale were checked.Results:Feasibility: the scale recovery was 100%, the completion rate of scale was 93.75%, the average completion time was 10 min. Reliability: the value of Cronbach α of the esophageal cancer module, MDASI-C, the combined scale were 0.747, 0.894, 0.883, respectively. Validity: the range of content validity index of items was 0.83-1.00, the scale-level content validity index average value was 0.93. Two common factors, which explained for 67.994% of variance, were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, the validity of criterion had statistical significance ( P<0.05). Sensitivity: the scores of the esophageal cancer module were significantly different among perioperative esophageal cancer patients with different Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ( H value was 9.264, P<0.05). Conclusions:The Perioperative Esophageal Cancer Symptoms Assessment Scale has good feasibility, reliability, validity and sensitivity, it is suitable for symptoms assessment of Chinese perioperative esophageal cancer patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of motivational interview combined with feedback teaching on active cycle of breathing technique(ACBT) training in lung cancer patients.Methods:A total of 632 patients with lung cancer undergoing radical resection from September 2017 to March 2019 in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center were selected and divided into the experimental group and the control group with 316 cases in each group by operation time. The experimental group received motivational interview combined with feedback teaching education, while the control group received routine education. The patients were followed up for 2 months. The compliance and accuracy of ACBT training, self-care ability, sputum discharge and incidence of pulmonary complications were compared between the two groups.Results:The sputum volume in the control group was (6.25±2.44), (9.28±2.63), (10.33±3.15) g in the control group and (8.74±4.17),(13.87±3.19),(14.18±4.16) g in the experimental group at 1, 2, 3 days after operation, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( t values were -1.149, -2.316, -4.124, P<0.01 or 0.05). There were 56 cases(17.72%) of pulmonary complications in the control group and 33 cases (10.44%) in the experimental group. The difference in the incidence of pulmonary complications between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 4.743, P<0.01).Two months after operation, the compliance and accuracy of ACBT training in the experimental group were better than those in the control group ( χ2 values were - 4.57, - 2.15, P<0.01).The improvement in the four dimensions after intervention in the experimental group were better than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 8.314-19.719, P<0.01). Conclusions:The motivational interview combined with feedback teaching is an effective method of health education, which is conducive to improving lung cancer patients' compliance and accuracy of postoperative ACBT training, improving patients' self-care ability, promoting the discharge of patients' sputum and reducing the incidence of pulmonary complications to promote the recovery of lung function.
