Abstract
Objective To explore the influences of the network medical health management on the coping styles, hope level and quality of life in patients with primary kidney cancer surgery. Methods The patients of control group received normal health management and the participants included 77 kidney cancer patients who were laboratory diagnosed during March 2011 and September 2012. The patients of intervention group received the network medical health management based on the normal health management and the participants included 79 kidney cancer patients who were laboratory diagnosed during March 2013 and September 2014. The coping styles, hope level and quality of life before and after the intervention were compared between the two groups. Results Before the intervention, the coping styles and the hope level had no statistical differences between the two groups (P>0.05). After the intervention for the coping styles, the intervention group had higher scores of the positive coping style (25.44±2.61) and lower scores of the negative coping style (9.76±1.89) and presented statistical differences compared with that of the control group (t=-10.468, 7.572; P 0.05); however, after intervention, the intervention group had higher scores of positive attitudes (14.5±2.6), positive behaviors (15.1±2.4) and close contact with people (15.6±2.1), and presented statistical differences with that of the control group (t=4.965, 5.569, 4.965; P 0.05) but the intervention group performed better on other 12 dimensions′ scores (P<0.05); the quality of life in the intervention group was better than that of control group. Conclusions The network medical health management should be further applied to the clinical practice, because it can significantly improve the coping styles, hope level and quality of life among the patient with primary kidney cancer surgery.
