Effect of narrative nursing on psychological resilience, fear of cancer recurrence and sleep quality in cancer patients
Abstract
To explore the impact of narrative nursing on psychological flexibility, fear of cancer recurrence and sleep quality in cancer patients. Methods: 100 cancer patients admitted to the Interventional Department of Jiangnan University Affiliated Hospital from January 2023 to January 2024 were selected as the research subjects. 100 patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group (50 cases each). The control group received basic nursing care, while the observation group received narrative care. After three months of nursing intervention, the psychological elasticity scores of the two groups of patients were compared [using the psychological elasticity scale] (RS-14)], changes in fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) (using the Fop-Q-SF scale) and sleep quality (using the PSQI scale). Results: Before the intervention, there was no statistical difference in the psychological flexibility, fear of cancer (FCR) and sleep quality (PSQI) scores between the two groups (P > 0.05); after the intervention, the RS-14 scores of the two groups were higher than before the intervention. And the observation group was higher (P < 0.05); the Fop-Q-SF and PSQI scores of both groups decreased, and the observation group was lower (both P < 0.05). Conclusion: Narrative nursing can effectively improve the psychological flexibility and sleep quality of cancer patients, reduce the fear of cancer recurrence, and has significant therapeutic effects.
