Evaluation of Traditional Chinese Medicine nursing interventions for patients undergoing chemotherapy for malignant bone tumors (骨肿瘤患者化疗期间的中医护理干预研究)

Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nursing interventions for patients undergoing chemotherapy for malignant bone tumors. Methods Totally 60 patients with malignant bone tumors were randomly divided into the treatment group and control group, with 30 cases in each group. All patients received routine care during chemotherapy, and those in the treatment group were given TCM interventions. Anxiety and depression status of patients were measured by Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). Patient satisfaction was evaluated by a self-made questionnaire. Results The SAS and SDS scores dropped in both two groups after intervention , and were lower in the treatment group than those in the control group (P<0. 05). The rate of patient satisfaction in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group (P<0. 05). Conclusion The TCM nursing is potentially effective to relieve the negative emotions and improve the satisfaction of patients undergoing chemotherapy for malignant bone tumors.
