Psychological care for patients with rectal cancer

The psychological problems of colorectal cancer patients include fear, suspicion, pessimism, despair, irritability and irritability. Creating a good recuperation environment. The environment has a great impact on people's physical and mental health, so the ward should pay attention to keeping the air fresh, the layout reasonable, the items arranged in order, the temperature and humidity appropriate, and no noise, so that patients feel like living at home and eliminate their fear and unfamiliarity with the hospital.

Differentiate between different situations and keep the patient's condition appropriately confidential. Keep the patient's true condition appropriately confidential, especially for the elderly and those who lack medical knowledge, so as to avoid excessive tension and fear in the patient, which may affect the patient's recovery.

We put ourselves in the patient's shoes and meet the patient's psychological needs. For patients who are skeptical, we satisfy their wishes for various examinations and patiently and carefully explain the relevant situation to them.

Comfort patients and give them spiritual encouragement. For patients who are negative and hopeless, analyze the reasons according to different situations and give them spiritual comfort. In addition to doing a good job of mental care and life guidance and other service work, we also tell patients about the treatment process and recuperation methods of some cured cases, so that patients can build confidence, be encouraged spiritually, and see hope in treatment.

Care for critically ill patients. For patients who need a permanent artificial anus, the impact of the operation on the patient should be tactfully told before the operation, and the necessity should be explained so that the patient can be mentally prepared. Careful care should be provided after the operation, and the patient should be respected.

Pay attention to emotional care after surgery. Within one week after surgery, especially when fecal overflow occurs, the patient's self-image is disturbed and he often feels a sense of pain that is worse than death. Therefore, during this period, the number of visits from relatives and friends should be reduced as much as possible to avoid irritating the patient.

Correct attitude, respect for patients. Nurses should have a high degree of sympathy and responsibility for patients, treat them equally, not be afraid of dirt or tiredness, infect patients with their full spirit and enthusiastic attitude, and take the initiative to shake hands and talk with patients. Careful nursing can eliminate the mental pain of patients, enhance their trust and sense of security in nurses, and enable patients to build confidence in overcoming the disease.

Do a good job in the ideological work of the patient's family members and work together to promote the patient's recovery. The mood of the family members can directly affect the patient's emotions. To do a good job in psychological care for the patient is inseparable from the cooperation of the family members. Because the patient is tortured by the disease, he often vents his impatience on his family members, and the hard work and grievances of the family members are not recognized by the patient, which can easily cause psychological imbalance and lose patience with the patient. Therefore, it is necessary to pay great attention to the ideological work of the family members, and make them have a certain understanding of the disease and surgery before the operation, persuade them to restrain themselves, cooperate with medical staff, stabilize the patient's emotions, and make the patient recover as soon as possible.
