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. Before and after intervention, the effects were assessed by Cancer fatigue scale-Chinses version (CFS-C) and Strategies used by people to promote health-Chinses version (SUPPH-C), respectively.Results:After intervention, the physical fatigue, affective fatigue, cognitive fatigue, and total fatigue scores in CFS-C were 7.64±3.63, 7.28±1.60, 5.19±1.24 and 20.11±3.96 in the experimental group, significantly lower than those in the control group (9.57±3.52, 8.76±2.60, 6.08±1.62 and 24.41±3.86); the positive coping, stress reduction, making decisions, and total scores in SUPPH-C were 57.56±9.72, 40.11±5.99, 12.17±1.95 and 109.83±11.69 in the experimental group, significantly higher than in the control group (50.54±10.80, 36.70±7.62, 10.86±2.10 and 98.11±14.13), the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 2.119-3.856, P<0.05).
