Abstract

OBJECTIVETo study the optimized security strategy for informing cancer patients with the disease,and let patients be fully informed and even more actively cooperate with doctors while they are under treatment.

METHODSGrouped with adversity quotient (AQ) score,these cancer patients were in comparison with those who had been informed by other ways without support strategy,and different groups of patients were estimated in different strategies in accordance with self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS).

RESULTS With certain strategies,high and low AQ score groups' SAS and SDS scores stably restored in 1 day to 1 week,and the differences had statistical significance(P < 0.01 ).The patients were well-informed without any difficulty and actively cooperated with treatment.No related factors led to self-mutilation,suicide and other serious incidents.While the SAS and SDS scores of the control group who were not informed by the strategy were not satisfactorily recovered,and the patients could not actively cooperate with the doctors.Especially being notified after 1 d to 1 week,the SAS and SDS scores had no significant improvement,and the differences had no statistical significance compared with themselves ( P > 0.05 ).It is difficult to avoid the occurrence of serious incidents.

CONCLUSION Based on AQ score,it is safe and effective to inform cancer patients of their disease condition by individual strategies.It not only respects patients rights,but also gains the active cooperation of the patients,and is helpful for treatment with minimizing adverse effects.
