Effect of the collaboration care model on posttraumatic growth and resilience in patients with breast cancer / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of the collaboration care model on posttraumatic growth and resilience in patients with breast cancer.Methods 70 patients who were diagnosed with breast cancer in department of Breast Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University were assigned into two groups by random number table.32 patients who completed the research in the experimental group received collaboration care while 31 patients who completed the research in the control group received routine care both for there months.The patients were investigated with the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) before and after intervention.Results After the intervention,there were significant differences in scores of posttraumatic growth [(63.83±11.87) scores vs.(60.33±10.09) scores,t=2.384] and resilience [(66.52±15.23) scores vs.(61.33±10.09) scores,t=2.472] between the two groups (P＜0.05).And also there were significant differences of posttraumatic growth scores before and after intervention in the experimental group [(56.24±10.01) scores vs.(63.83±11.87) scores,t=-3.988,P＜ 0.01] and the control group [(56.68±10.32) scores vs.(60.33±10.09) scores,t=-2.426,P＜0.05].Differences of resilience also existed in the experimental group [(61.28±14.40) scores vs.(66.52±15.25) scores,t=-3.225,P＜0.01] and the control group [(63.97±17.66) scores vs.(61.33±10.09) scores,t=-2.370,P＜0.05].Conclusions Collaboration care model can significantly improve the level of patients' posttraumatic growth and resilience.
