ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the application of individualized and staged psychological intervention in liver cancer patients during perioperative period, to provide reference for perioperative nursing of patients with liver cancer.Methods:A total of 80 liver cancer patients who were hospitalized in Hefei Binhu Hospital and Hefei First People's Hospital from January to December 2019 were divided into observation group and control group by random number table method, with 40 cases in each group. The control group was given routine perioperative care, and the observation group was treated with routine perioperative care and individualized phased psychological intervention. All were intervented for 7 days. The mental state, self-efficacy, quality of life, and psychosocial adaptation levels before and after the intervention were evaluated by Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), the Quality of Life Scale, etc.Results:There was no significant difference in HAMA, HAMD, GSES, quality of life, and psychosocial adaptation level between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05). The HAMA and HAMD scores in the observation group after intervention were (16.01 ± 2.25) and (15.75 ± 2.06) points, which were lower than those in the control group (18.46 ± 2.49) and (17.29 ± 2.33) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 4.617, 3.312, P<0.05). The overall function scores of GSES and quality of life in the observation group after intervention were (28.49 ± 3.82) and (46.41 ± 4.63) points, which were higher than those in the control group (25.35 ± 3.64) and (43.74 ± 4.95) points, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 3.764, 2.491, P<0.05); all aspects of psychosocial adaptation scores in the observation group after intervention were higher than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.278 - 4.578, P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of individualized and staged psychological intervention in liver cancer patients during perioperative period can significantly alleviate negative emotion, enhance their self-efficacy, improve level of social-psychological adjustment and quality of life.
