RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the effect of music and mood relaxation training for the anxiety in patients with breast tumor before operation. Methods With case-contrast method, 108 patients with breast tumor (52 patients with intervention, 56 with routine treatment) week assessed continuously. All cases were investigated on their common information, physiological indexes and psychological scales, including State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Form Y), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and Eysenck Personality Questionaire (EPQ). Results There were significant statistical difference in systolic pressure and pulse rate between two groups on one day (t =3.114, P ＜0.01) and 30-60 minutes (t =3.03, P=0.01) before the operation. There was remarkable difference for anxiety between two groups and among different interventions periods by Repeated Measures ANOVA analysis (Periods: F=18.61, P ＜0.01; Groups: F =7.001, P ＜0.05). Results of Stepwise regression analysis: The influencing factors on anxiety in patients with breast tumor before operation were trait anxiety, breast-feeding history, family history of breast tumor, age, economy and EPQ-N. Conclusion Relaxation music and mood relaxation training can reduce the level of anxiety and related physiological indexes on patients with breast tumor before operation. The influencing factors on anxiety in patients with breast tumor before operation are multi level factors, such as trait anxiety, breast-feeding history and so on.
