چکیده
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of psychological intervention on the life quality of patients with laryngeal cancer. METHODS Two hundred and ten patients with laryngeal cancer were randomly assigned to the study group receiving psychological intervention and control group receiving routine nursing care. The Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), and the Europe Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) were used to evaluate life quality. RESULTS There were no significant differences in the scores of HAMD, HAMA, and EORTC QLQ-C30 between the 2 groups before treatment (P>0.05). After treatment, the scores in the study group were significantly different to those in the control group (P<0.05). In addition, the satisfaction rate and compliance rate of patients in the study group were increased, compared to the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Psychological intervention is beneficial in improving life quality in patients with laryngeal cancer after surgery.
