Pay attention to psychological care measures for patients with brain cancer

Psychological care is also very important in the care of brain cancer patients. Through the interaction between caregivers and patients, patients can understand the mechanism of their own problems, thus helping them to get rid of their unhealthy psychological state. Common psychological reactions of brain cancer patients include tension and anxiety, denial and recognition, resentment and pessimism, disappointment and struggle. To deal with patients' adverse psychological reactions, you can:

1. Build confidence in overcoming the disease. Tension, anxiety, resentment, and pessimism can cause endocrine disorders, destroy the body's natural defense system, and enhance the destructive power of cancer cells. On the contrary, if the patient hopes to recover, believes that the medicine is effective, actively cooperates with treatment and care, and has spiritual sustenance, the collective defense force is mobilized, the sensitivity of the medicine is high, and the treatment effect will also be improved.

2. Relax the body and mind. In addition to taking an appropriate amount of anti-anxiety drugs to calm the patient and stabilize his mood, other ways to relax the body and mind include boxing, reading books, newspapers and periodicals, watching TV, listening to music, stamp collecting, calligraphy and painting, planting flowers, raising birds, fishing, raising pets, etc., all of which are beneficial to self-cultivation and have a significant effect on alleviating symptoms. It can help patients gradually get rid of their unhealthy mental state.

3. Appropriate venting. In psychological care, venting pent-up emotions is a way to relieve psychological pressure. There are two forms: 1. The caregiver listens to the patient's distress with an understanding attitude, so that the patient's psychology can be relaxed and the symptoms can be alleviated; 2. After the patient has vented his heart, the caregiver explains, persuades or gives positive comments, and encourages the patient to vent as much as possible. Through venting, the inhibitory factors are removed, the body's immune system is activated, and its own defense capabilities are enhanced.
