ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect of emotional resilience group training on traumatic stress and level of resilience in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Methods A total of 183 patients with gastrointestinal cancer were divided into experimental group(n=89)and control group(n=89)according to the random number table.The two groups were given routine health education and psychological care.In addi-tion,the experimental group was given emotional resilience group training once a week for 8 weeks.The effects of intervention were evaluated by the PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version(PCL-C)and Connor-Davidson resili-ence scale(CD-RISC). Results After 8 weeks of emotional resilience group training,the PCL-C score of the experimental group decreased from(39.78±4.71)to(33.61±5.12),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The CD-RISC score of the experimental group increased from(54.36±5.44)to(58.33± 5.71),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).After the intervention,the PCL-C score of the experimental group(33.61±5.12)was lower than that of the control group(39.23±3.58)(P<0.01),while the CD-RISC score of the experimental group(58.33 ± 5.71)was higher than that of the control group(53.96 ± 5.62)(P<0.01). Conclusion Emotional resilience group training can effectively improve traumatic stress symptom and the level of resilience in patients with gastrointestinal cancer.
