The effects of high-quality nursing intervention on the quality of life, sleep, and depression of lymphoma patients

摘要

Objective: To explore the effects of high-quality nursing intervention on the quality of life, sleep, and depression of lymphoma patients. Methods: 94 lymphoma patients were enrolled and randomized into an experimental group and a control group (n=47 each). The patients in the control group received conventional nursing, while those in the experimental group were given high quality nursing intervention. Their quality of life, sleep quality, anxiety and depression, knowledge of the disease, incidences of adverse reactions, total effective rates of treatment, and nursing satisfaction were assessed. Results: The quality of life scores in the experimental group were higher compared with the control group (P<0.05). After nursing, the scores of each item for the PSQI and the PSQI scores (the total scores) in the two groups significantly decreased ((P<0.05). After nursing, the SAS and SDS scores of two groups decreased (P<0.05); the two scores in the experimental group were significantly lower than they were in the control group (P<0.05). Compared with those in the control group, the patients in the experimental group had a significantly higher knowledge of the disease (P<0.05), a higher total incidence of adverse reactions, a higher total effective rate of treatment (P<0.05), and a higher nursing satisfaction rate (all P<0.05). Conclusion: For lymphoma patients, high quality nursing intervention can relieve their negative emotions, reduce their incidences of adverse reactions, and improve their quality of life and sleep quality. It can also increase their nursing satisfaction and knowledge of the disease, improve their therapeutic efficacy, and promote their recovery from the disease.
