Clinical Study on Effect of Solution Focused Approach on the Complications, Pain, Sleep, and Quality of Life in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma Undergoing TACE.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

The objective of this study is to explore the effect of solution focused approach (SFA) on the complications, pain, sleep, and quality of life in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).

METHODS:

Total of 106 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent TACE in our hospital from July 2019 to June 2020 were selected. According to the admission time, they were divided into the control group (n = 53) and the observation group (n = 53). The control group implemented routine nursing intervention, and the observation group implemented SFA on the basis of the control group. The clinical data, complications, pain, sleep status, and quality of life scores were compared between the two groups.

RESULTS:

The total incidence of complications in the observation group (16.98%) was lower than that in the control group (33.96%) (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the score of pain perception between the two groups (P > 0.05). The scores of sleep status in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The quality of life scores in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION:

SFA can effectively reduce the complications, relieve pain, improve sleep status, and improve the quality of life in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing TACE.
