ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the status quo of young patients′ perception of partner responsiveness and fear of disease progression after surgery of cervical cancer, and to analyze the correlation between the two to provide a basis for targeted intervention.Methods:From October 2018 to June 2020, a convenient sampling method was used to select 121 young patients after radical resection of cervical cancer who were treated in East Branch of Qingdao Municipal Hospital. It was investigated by the Perceived Partner Responsiveness Scale and the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form in cancer patients.Results:The total score of perceived partner responsiveness of young patients with cervical cancer after surgery was (41.30 ± 6.14) points, and the total score of fear of disease progression was (31.10 ± 6.58) points; perceived partner responsiveness was negatively correlated with fear of disease progression ( r=-0.72, P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that work status and perceived partner responsiveness were the influencing factors of patients' fear of disease progression ( t=11.54, 18.40, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The perception of partner responsiveness in young patients with cervical cancer after surgery is closely related to the fear of disease progression. Perception of partner responsiveness can affect patients′ fear of disease progression; it can improve the patients′ perception of partner responsiveness to improve their fear of disease progression.
