The cancer-related psychological stress may causes anxiety in patients. The present study aimed to determine the effect of hypnotherapy on the hospital anxiety in children with cancer.
This is a case report, in which a total of 3 female children with cancer were recruited using voluntary response sampling. Classical hypnotherapy was conducted for patients in eight treatment sessions with a one-month post-intervention follow-up. Participants completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) at five stages including before the intervention, third, fifth and eighth hypnotherapy sessions, and one month after the intervention. Data analysis was conducted using a statistical report on the recovery rate and effect size.
The results showed that hypnotherapy had a significant and positive effect on the hospital anxiety, in the treatment and follow-up stages.
Based upon the results, it can be stated that hypnotherapy is a promising approach in reducing the hospital anxiety in children with cancer.
癌症相关的心理压力可能会导致患者焦虑。本研究旨在确定催眠疗法对癌症患儿医院焦虑的影响。
这是一份病例报告，通过自愿应答抽样共招募了3名患癌女童。对患者进行了8次经典催眠治疗，并在干预后进行了为期1个月的随访。参与者在五个阶段完成了医院焦虑抑郁量表（HADS），包括干预前、第三次、第五次和第八次催眠治疗以及干预后1个月。使用关于恢复率和效应大小的统计报告进行数据分析。
结果表明，催眠疗法在治疗和随访阶段对医院焦虑有显著的积极影响。
基于这些结果，可以说催眠疗法是减轻癌症患儿医院焦虑的一种有前景的方法。
