Effect of psychological intervention combined with feedback-based health education on lung cancer patients

To explore the application effect of Psychological Intervention based on the emotional adaptation theory combined with Feedback-based Health Education (PICFHE) on lung cancer patients.

A total of 216 lung cancer patients were divided into a control group and an observation group using a random number table method. The control group received routine nursing intervention, while the observation group received PICFHE on the basis of the control group. Psychological status was compared using the Self Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self Rating Depression Scale (SDS). Quality of life was measured using WHOQOL-BREF scale and the respiratory condition, satisfaction with the nursing staff, and incidence of adverse reactions were observed. Data were analyzed quantitatively using the software SPSS 20.0.

After intervention, scores of SAS and SDS, respiratory rate, and total incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group. After intervention, the level of maximum volume ventilation and the scores in all dimensions of the WHOQOL-BREF scale of the observation group were higher than those of the control group.

PICFHE can improve patients' psychological status, their quality of life and satisfaction with the nursing staff, and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions.
