Application of Satir group intervention model in elderly lung cancer patients with radical resection

Abstract

Objective To explore the effects of Satir group intervention model in elderly lung cancer patients with radical resection. Methods From June 2016 to June 2018, this study selected 82 elderly lung cancer patients with radical resection in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University as subjects by convenience sampling. All of patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group, 41 cases in each group. Control group carried out routine postoperative nursing, while observation group adopted the Satir group intervention model. The effects were compared with the Social Avoidance and Distress Scale (SADS) , Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSES) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-core (EORTC QLQ-C30) before and after intervention. Results After intervention, the score of SADS of patients in observation group was lower than that in control group; the score of RSES of patients in observation group was higher than that in control group; the differences were all statistical (P<0.05) . After intervention, the scores of physical function, role function, emotional function, social function, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, dyspnea, sleep disturbance, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, financial problem and the overall quality of life of patients in observation group were higher than those in control group with statistical differences (P<0.05) . Conclusions Application of Satir group intervention model in elderly lung cancer patients with radical resection can enhance patients' self-esteem, correct negative emotions and improve quality of life which is worthy of being popularized and applied.
