ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of combined Naikan therapy and modified Morita therapy on psychological distress and post traumatic growth in elderly patients with cancer pain.Methods Ninety elderly patients with cancer pain were randomly assigned into two groups;those in the study group(n =45)were given Naikan therapy and modified Morita therapy for 4 weeks and those in the control group (n =45) were given standardized aerodyne treatment and standardized nursing care.All subjects were assessed with the Distress Thermometer and Problem Listand the Post traumatic Growth Inventory before and after Naikan therapy and modified Morita therapy.Results Compared with the control group,the study group was associated with significantly decreased scores of psychological distress(1.8± 0.1 vs.3.9 ± 0.2,t =1.78,P<0.05),emotional problems (1.2 ± 0.4,vs.2.4±0.4,t=1.41,P<0.05)and family problems(1.1±0.1,vs.2.9±0.1,t=1.63,P<0.05).The study group also showed markedly higher scores in posttraumatic growth(66.0± 19.9 vs.45.3± 27.6,t=2.58,P<0.05),relationships to others(34.8±12.1 vs.23.8±12.2,t=1.91,P<0.05),new possibilities(25.2 ± 10.1 vs.13.7± 4.4,t=1.94,P<0.05),personal strength(20.7 ± 10.4 vs.7.6 ± 3.1,t =2.03,P < 0.05),spiritual change (11.6 ± 5.6 vs.5.4 ± 2.7,t =1.26,P < 0.05),and appreciation of life(18.9±6.2 vs.6.1±-2.1,t=1.88,P<0.05) than the control group.Conclusions Naikan therapy and modified Morita therapy can decrease psychological distress and improve post traumatic growth in elderly patients with cancer pain.
