Objective: To explore the effects of solution-focused nursing on leukemia chemotherapy patients' moods, cancer-related fatigue, coping styles, self-efficacy, and quality of life.
Methods: A total of 103 patients who underwent leukemia chemotherapy in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively and were divided into two groups based on the intervention method. Group A underwent routine nursing intervention, and group B underwent solution-focused nursing. The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) scores, the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) scores, the Trait Coping Style Questionnaire (TCSQ) scores, the cancer-related fatigue self-rating scores, the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) scores, and the Spitzer Quality of Life Index scores were compared between the two groups.
Results: Compared with group A, group B had lower HAMA scores, lower MADRS scores, lower cognitive, behavioral, perception, and emotional scores, and higher self-efficacy scores (P<0.05). Group B had higher activity scores, and better psychological statuses, support from family and friends, health perception, and outlook on life than group A after the intervention (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Solution-focused nursing can alleviate leukemia chemotherapy patients' negative emotions and cancer-related fatigue, improve their coping styles, and increase their self-efficacy and quality of life.
