Abstract
Background: This randomised controlled study was aimed at investigating the effects of WeChat-based cognitive behavioural stress management (WB-CBSM) on the mental health of patients with early-stage cervical cancer treated with surgical resection.
Methods: A total of 184 patients with early-stage cervical cancer were randomised to receive either WB-CBSM (n = 92) or normal care (NC) (n = 92) for 8 weeks.
Results: Compared with the NC group, the WB-CBSM group exhibited reduced Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)-anxiety scores at months (M)1 (t = 2.022, P = 0.045), M3 (t = 2.575, P = 0.011), and M6 (t = 2.709, P = 0.007); anxiety rates at M3 (χ2 = 4.834, P = 0.028) and M6 (χ2 = 5.182, P = 0.023); HADS-depression scores at M3 (t = 2.069, P = 0.040) and M6 (t = 2.449, P = 0.015); and depression rates at M6 (χ2 = 4.268, P = 0.039). Moreover, the WB-CBSM group showed increased Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-Being scale scores at M1 (t = -2.001, P = 0.047), M3 (t = -2.281, P = 0.024), and M6 (t = -3.501, P = 0.001); the Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) global health score at M3 (t = -2.034, P = 0.043) and M6 (t = -2.426, P = 0.016); and QLQ-C30 function score at M3 (t = -2.009, P = 0.046). However, the groups exhibited decreased EuroQol-5 dimension scores at M3 (t = 2.056, P = 0.041) and M6 ((t = 2.242, P = 0.026) and QLQ-C30 symptom scores at M1 (t = 2.026, P = 0.044) and M3 (t = 2.210, P = 0.028).
Conclusion: WB-CBSM reduced anxiety and depression and improved the spiritual well-being and quality of life of patients with early-stage cervical cancer treated with surgical resection.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology represents an established forum for the entire field of obstetrics and gynaecology, publishing a broad range of original, peer-reviewed papers, from scientific and clinical research to reviews relevant to practice. It also includes occasional supplements on clinical symposia. The journal is read widely by trainees in our specialty and we acknowledge a major role in education in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Past and present editors have recognized the difficulties that junior doctors encounter in achieving their first publications and spend time advising authors during their initial attempts at submission. The journal continues to attract a world-wide readership thanks to the emphasis on practical applicability and its excellent record of drawing on an international base of authors.
