Title: Effect of psychosomatic therapy on pain control in patients with gynecological malignant tumor
Abstract: Objective
To explore the effect of psychosomatic therapy on pain management in patients with gynecological malignant tumor, and to provide theoretical basis for improving the quality of pain management.
Methods
A total of 156 patients with gynecological malignant tumors were selected and 75 cases from August to November in 2015 were as the control group and 75 cases from December 2015 to March 2016 were as the intervention group. The control group received routine care in the wards, and the intervention group received psychosomatic therapy based on relaxation, image guidance, music therapy and personalized psychological counseling on the basis of routine nursing. The pain evaluation indexes of the two groups were compared.
Results
The number of the mild, moderate and severe pain in the intervention group were 56, 19, and 0, respectively, and 37, 41 and 3 in the control group, respectively. The difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant (Z=5.751, P<0.05). The number of the invalid, mild, obvious, complete remission of patients with cancer pain in the intervention group were 8, 14, 25, 28, respectively, and 18, 27, 21, 15 in the control group, respectively. The difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant (Z=2.081, P<0.05). The influence degree of pain on sleep was (4.96 ± 1.26) points in the intervention group and (5.72 ± 1.32) points in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (t=3.638, P<0.05). The satisfaction degree of pain control was (3.39 ± 1.15) points in the intervention group and (2.94 ± 0.74) points in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=2.931, P<0.05). In the intervention group, 81.33% (61/75) of one drug controlled pain program was used, which was higher than 64.20% (52/81) of the control group (χ2=5.727, P<0.05).
Conclusions
Psychosomatic therapy can effectively relieve the pain of patients with gynecologic malignant tumor, and has guiding significance for the management of patients with cancer pain.
