Dissatisfaction with one's physique is the most common issue among cancer patients, and it is correlated with stress, anxiety, and hopelessness. The current study aimed to assess how the Nurse-Led short psychosocial intervention affected cancer patients' body image distress and treatment compliance.
67 patients above 18 years of age and undergoing cancer treatment were enrolled in the study through complete enumeration sampling. The individuals were divided into experimental and control groups using simple randomization. A nurse-led brief psychosocial intervention program was implemented for 15 days for the experimental group while the control group was on standard treatment. The intervention's effects were measured on the 15 day using a structured body image distress scale and self-structured treatment compliance scale. The consolidated norms of reporting trials (CONSORT) statement was used to perform the study. Utilizing SPSS, descriptive and inferential statistics were performed to analyze the data.
Post-intervention on the 15 day of the program revealed a reduction in Body image distress (Mean, SD and value; 2.73, 1.72 (experimental), 4.90 ± 2.23 (control) and <0.001). The program also resulted in improved treatment compliance (Mean, SD and value; 3.66, 2.23 and (experimental) and 5.83, 1.62; and <0.001).
According to the study's findings, nurses are essential to the care of cancer patients. Nurse-led intervention can be an effective strategy to address these psychological issues and concerns.
对自身身体状况不满是癌症患者中最常见的问题，且与压力、焦虑和绝望相关。本研究旨在评估由护士主导的简短心理社会干预如何影响癌症患者的身体形象困扰和治疗依从性。
通过完全枚举抽样，招募了67名年龄在18岁以上且正在接受癌症治疗的患者。使用简单随机化将个体分为实验组和对照组。对实验组实施了为期15天的由护士主导的简短心理社会干预项目，而对照组接受标准治疗。在第15天使用结构化身体形象困扰量表和自行编制的治疗依从性量表来测量干预效果。采用试验报告统一标准（CONSORT）声明进行研究。利用SPSS进行描述性和推断性统计分析数据。
在项目第15天干预后，身体形象困扰有所减轻（均值、标准差和p值；2.73, 1.72（实验组），4.90 ± 2.23（对照组），p<0.001）。该项目还提高了治疗依从性（均值、标准差和p值；3.66, 2.23（实验组）和5.83, 1.62（对照组）；p<0.001）。
根据研究结果，护士对癌症患者的护理至关重要。由护士主导的干预可以是解决这些心理问题和担忧的有效策略。
