ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of participatory humanistic nursing on the quality of life and psychology of patients with gastric cancer. Methods From May 2015 to May 2016, 68 patients with gastric cancer were enrolled in the study. All patients were divided into the experimental group and the control group with 34 patients in each group according to the principle of double-blind randomization. Patients in the control group were given routine clinical nursing, and patients in the experimental group were given the participatory humanistic nursing care. The quality of life and psychological state were evaluated by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire and Symptom Checklist 90 edited by Derogatis and compared before nursing and after 6 months of nursing. Results There was no significant difference in the quality of life before nursing between two groups (P >0.05). After nursing, the scores of physical function, role function, emotional function, cognitive function, social function of the quality of life were 57.85±4.64, 68.43±5.23, 61.43±4.97, 58.47± 6.12, 53.57±5.54 in the experimental group and 43.56±4.56, 54.67±4.67, 56.34±4.74, 51.34±4.13, 50.46± 4.27 in the control group,and there were significant differences (t=2.593-12.808,P0.05). After nursing, the scores of interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, terror, paranoia, psychosis of the psychological state were 1.65 ± 0.17, 1.40 ± 0.15, 1.45 ± 0.14, 1.46 ± 0.12, 1.52 ± 0.16, 1.54 ± 0.10, 1.43 ± 0.11 in the experimental group and 1.75±0.21, 1.72±0.24, 1.63±0.21, 1.75±0.23, 1.71±0.24, 1.65±0.10, 1.56 ± 0.12 in the control group, and there were significant differences (t=2.158-6.593, P<0.05 or 0.01).
