Background: We aimed to explore the effect of self-efficacy intervention combined with humanistic nursing on self-care ability and quality of life in patients receiving chemotherapy for malignant tumors.
Methods: A total of 410 patients were enrolled, who received chemotherapy for malignant tumors in Fuyang People’s Hospital from June 2019 to June 2021. They were equally divided into the experimental group and the control group by a random number table. The former was given routine nursing, while self-efficacy intervention combined with humanistic nursing on the bases of routine care was introduced for the latter. Baseline information was collected from all patients. The psychological status of patients before and after intervention was assessed by self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS) and Visual analogue scale (VAS), while self-efficacy score and self-care ability scale for evaluating self-care ability of patients. Additionally, there was an evaluation of quality of life and nursing satisfaction in each group.
Results: Before intervention, no significant difference was identified in psychological status, self-care ability and quality of life between the two groups. After the intervention, the above three indexes in the experimental group were significantly better than those of the control group were. The experimental group had higher nursing satisfaction than the control group.
Conclusion: In patients with malignant tumor undergoing chemotherapy, self-efficacy intervention combined with humanistic nursing can significantly improve the self-care ability, quality of life and nursing satisfaction of patients, which is therefore worthy of promotion in clinical.
