Psychological treatment is very important for patients with lung cancer

Lung cancer originates from the bronchial mucosal epithelium, so it is also called bronchial lung cancer. Family members of lung cancer patients should do a good job of "three cares", namely, psychology, reasoning, and nursing. What does psychological treatment include?

1. After the patient knows for sure that he has lung cancer, he often expresses fear, despair, loss of hope for life, and worry about his relatives. At this time, it is an important prerequisite for treatment for the doctor and the patient to establish a good relationship, so the doctor should keep in touch with the patient frequently. The nurse should listen to the patient's statement patiently, sympathize with the patient, comfort him, and encourage him to actively accept treatment to avoid delaying the disease. The nurse should also emphasize the role of psychology in the disease and encourage the patient to accept treatment with a positive attitude.

2. Once the patient learns that he has lung cancer, he becomes restless, seeks confirmation from many sources, and becomes nervous.

3. When patients learn that they have lung cancer, a considerable number of people lack a correct understanding of cancer and only have a superficial understanding of it, thinking that as long as they have cancer, they are sentenced to death. Family members can enhance their understanding through the Internet and popular science books, and strengthen their confidence in treatment. Let the patient accept the facts, treat it calmly, and actively receive treatment.

4. Many patients spend a lot of money to buy a folk remedy from friends after hearing about it. This not only does not improve the disease, but also delays treatment. At this time, the doctor should pay attention to the patient's expression and communication, and make sure the patient tells you in time whether he has bought a folk remedy or bought medicine because of advertisements. This is conducive to the patient's active treatment.
