How to alleviate the pain of patients with advanced brain tumors is something people want to know. Since advanced brain tumors are difficult to treat, most of the current treatments for advanced brain tumors focus on relieving symptoms and prolonging life. The key is to do a good job of related nursing work. So, what are the nursing methods for advanced brain tumors?

What are the nursing methods for advanced brain tumors?

1. Overcoming fear: Some brain tumor patients refuse to undergo tests due to fear before diagnosis, and keep delaying the diagnosis. After diagnosis, they burst into tears and lose all hope. After follow-up visits, they are worried and always suspect that the cancer has worsened and that death is imminent. These are all cancer fears, and patients should be helped to overcome them to avoid adverse effects of psychological symptoms on physical symptoms.

2. Overcoming despair: Most despair develops from fear. Due to the lack of confidence in fighting the disease, they take a laissez-faire attitude, and do not pay attention to the daily routine. Many patients become depressed, and some even become alcoholics, indulge in lust, and give up on themselves, and their spirits are on the verge of collapse.

3. Overcome the mentality of blindly following others: Brain tumor patients often seek medical treatment in a hurry and secretly take medicine without telling the doctor during treatment. Whether it is Chinese medicine, Western medicine or imported medicine, as long as they hear that it can cure cancer, they will take it without thinking. This is harmful and has no benefit. At the least, it wastes money, and at the worst, it produces adverse consequences and affects the treatment. Of course, it does not completely deny the therapeutic effect of certain folk prescriptions, but just reminds patients to inform the doctor when taking medicine.

4. Overcoming inferiority complex: Some brain tumor patients are unwilling to contact society after being diagnosed. They are afraid of seeing colleagues and acquaintances, afraid of being asked questions, and become sensitive and suspicious, and their behavior is withdrawn, which is very unfavorable for the treatment and recovery of the disease. Patients should be encouraged to communicate with others and participate in more social activities. Brain tumor patients can also spontaneously organize themselves to exchange experiences in fighting cancer and face the disease together.
