Effect of targeted nursing intervention on psychological status of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer

Objective To explore the effect of targeted nursing intervention on the psychological status of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, so as to provide a reliable basis for improving the clinical nursing work of recurrent ovarian cancer. Methods A total of 60 cases of recurrent ovarian cancer treated in our hospital from January 2016 to March 2017 were selected as the research objects, and they were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 30 cases in each group. The observation group received targeted nursing intervention, while the control group received routine nursing care. Observation and comparison of two groups of patients before and after nursing intervention anxiety, pain threshold changes, as well as the satisfaction of nursing services. Results Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) scores after the intervention in the observation group was (40.13 ± 5.73) points,the control group was (51.12 ± 3.98) points,the difference was statistically significant(t=6.145,P=0.011). Observation group and control group before the intervention Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score was (5.03 ± 1.22) points, (5.23 ± 1.38) points, there was relatively no significant difference(t=1.236,P=0.384) between the two groups; VAS scores after the intervention of the observation group was (1.13 ± 0.83) points, the control group was(2.52 ± 1.24) points,the observation group was significantly lower than the control group, the difference was significant(t=3.047,P=0.032).The observation group of patients for overall satisfaction of nurses was 80.00% (24/30),the control group of patients overall satisfaction was 43.33% (13/30) for nurses, overall satisfaction among groups observation group was significantly higher overall satisfaction(χ2=4.842,P=0.021). Conclusions Compared with routine nursing, targeted nursing intervention can significantly improve the anxiety and pain threshold of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, improve nursing satisfaction, and can be popularized and applied in clinic.
