ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effect of cognitive-behavior intervention on illness uncertainty and coping style in patients with endometriosis (EMs). Methods 80 EMs patients admitted into our inpatient department of hospital from January 2015 to October 2016 were selected as research object. According to random number table, patients were divided into control group (40 cases) which took routine nursing intervention;and experimental group (40 cases) which took cognitive-behavior intervention on the basis of control group. The illness uncertainty, scores of coping style of two groups after intervention were compared. Results There was no statistical difference in the illness uncertainty between the two groups before intervention ; After intervention, the scores of uncertainty, complexity, unpredictability, poor information of two groups were lower than before intervention (P<0.05); After intervention, the scores of uncertainty, complexity, unpredictability, poor information of experimental group were lower than control group (P<0.05); There was no statistical difference in the scores of coping style between the two groups before intervention; After intervention, the scores of confront, optimism, seeking support of two groups were higher than before intervention, and escape scores were lower than before intervention (P<0.05); After intervention, the scores of confront, optimism, seeking support of experimental group were higher than control group, and escape score was lower than control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Cognitive-behavior intervention for EMs patients can effectively decrease illness uncertainty, reduce negative emotion and improve coping capacity.
