ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the status of cancer health literacy of female patients with breast cancer and analyze its influencing factors, in order to provide a reference for formulating targeted interventions to promote the cancer health literacy of female breast cancer patients.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted. From December 2021 to July 2022, 200 female breast cancer patients hospitalized in Hunan Cancer Hospital were investigated with general information questionnaire, chronic disease patients ′ Health Literacy Management Scale (HeLMS), Strategies Used by People to Promote Health (SUPPH) and Spiritual Attitude and Involvement List (SAIL). Results:The total score of cancer health literacy, self-management self-efficacy and spiritual attitude among female breast patients in this group was 84.63 (75.00, 97.00), 97.30(85.25, 112.00) and 105.00(96.00, 118.00) points. There was a positive correlation between cancer health literacy and self-management efficacy ( r=0.524, P<0.01) and spiritual attitude ( r=0.501, P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that education level, average monthly family income, self-management efficacy and spiritual attitude were the influencing factors of cancer health literacy of female breast cancer patients ( t values were 2.86 to 5.91, all P<0.05), which explained 45.7% of the total variation. Conclusions:The cancer health literacy of female patients with breast cancer is at a medium level. Nursing staff can improve the self-management efficacy and spiritual attitude of female patients with breast cancer, so as to improve the level of cancer health literacy and quality of life of patients, and then alleviate the pain of patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of pre-hospital health education based on "Internet +" on self-management efficacy, anxiety and depression of patients undergoing pulmonary tumor surgery, and provide reference for pre-hospital nursing care of this group.Methods:It was a randomized controlled trial. A total of 100 outpatients in Department of Pulmonary Oncology, Tumor Hospital of Tianjin Medical University to be hospitalized for surgery during November 2021 to March 2022, were divided into experimental group ( n=50) and control group ( n=50) by random number method according to the order of outpatient visits. Patients in control group received routine thoracic surgery nursing and health education after admission. Those in experimental group received "Internet +" pre-hospital health education during patients waiting for hospital beds for surgery, nursing care after admission was the same as that of the control group. The scores of Strategies Used by People to Promote Health (SUPPH) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Score (HADS) were compared between the two groups 1 day before discharge. Results:At the time of outpatient visit, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the comparison of all dimensions and total scores of SUPPH and the score of HADS ( P>0.05). Total SUPPH score, and self-decompression, self-decision and positive attitude score of experimental group were (110.62 ± 17.73) points, (38.74 ± 6.56) points, (11.98 ± 2.20) points, (59.90 ± 10.18) points, respectively, while in the control group, the scores were (92.86 ± 18.91) points, (32.46 ± 7.39) points, (9.76 ± 2.00) points and (50.64 ± 11.50) points, respectively, with statistically significant differences ( t values were -5.29--4.27, all P<0.01). Besides, the anxiety and depression scores of HADS in experimental group were (3.92 ± 2.25) points and (3.36 ± 2.38) points, respectively, while those in control group were (7.12 ± 3.49) points and (7.00 ± 3.53) points, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=5.45, 6.04, both P<0.01). Conclusions:The "Internet +" pre-hospital health education model can promote the self-management efficacy of patients undergoing pulmonary tumor surgery, and improve their psychological state during treatment. The study provided reference for promoting diversified extended nursing services in clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of well-being therapy on fatigue and self-management efficacy of leukemia patients undergoing chemotherapy.Methods:From January 2018 to December 2019, totally 76 leukemia patients who undergoing chemotherapy were divided into experimental group and control group according to the enrolled time, with 38 cases in each group. Patients in the control group recieved routine nursing, the experimental group carried out well-being therapy.
