Effect of health belief model-based intervention on post-traumatic stress disorder and post-traumatic growth in parents with malignant lymphoma children / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect of health belief model-based intervention on post-traumatic stress disorder and post-traumatic growth of parents of children with malignant lymphoma.Methods:A total of 90 malignant lymphoma children parents were randomly divided into study group and control group, with 45 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing method, the study group carried out health belief model-based intervention. The Posttraumatic stress Checklist-Civilian version (PCL-C) and Post-traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) were used to evaluate the effect of intervention, respectively.Results:After intervention, the scores of PLC-C were significantly decreased and PTGI were significantly increased both in the intervention group and control group. After intervention, the scores of arousal symptoms avoidance/numbing, re-experiencing symptoms and total PCL-C scores were (7.26±1.13), (8.80±1.95), (5.67±1.16), (21.73±2.57) points in the study group, which were significantly decreased compared to (8.09±1.63), (9.92±3.05), (6.10±0.68), (24.10±3.78) points in the control group ( t values were 2.070-3.484, all P<0.05 or 0.01). After intervention, the scores of relating to others, personal strength and total PTGI scores were (21.66±4.66), (18.28±5.04), (73.93±8.20) points in the study group, which were significantly increased compared to (18.39±4.39), (16.43±2.71), (66.46±6.20) points in the control group ( t values were 3.415, 2.161, 4.877, all P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusion:Health belief model-based intervention can effectively alleviate post-traumatic stress disorder and promote posttraumatic growth in parents with malignant lymphoma children.
