What are the psychological manifestations of liver cancer patients? Pay attention to these in the psychological care of liver cancer

When patients are diagnosed with liver cancer, they will experience various complex psychological changes, which are often directly related to death, family conditions and pain. Some patients cannot face reality correctly, give up on themselves and cannot actively cooperate with treatment; some patients have a strong desire to survive, are afraid of facing death, and put all their hopes on treatment. Therefore, they will show high mental tension, fear and pain before, during and after interventional treatment, and cannot cooperate well with treatment.

Therefore, we should carefully analyze the various psychological changes of patients and implement effective psychological care to minimize the mental stress of patients, eliminate the psychological burden of patients, actively cooperate with the treatment, reduce the complications during and after the operation, so as to achieve the best treatment effect. At the same time, interventional treatment is a new treatment method, and patients and their families are not very familiar with it. As nurses, we should show enthusiasm, care, understanding and amiable attitude, care about the mental state of patients, observe their emotional changes through cordial conversations, do a good job of ideological work, and obtain the understanding, consent and cooperation of patients. Before the operation, we should explain in detail to patients and their families the advantages, purpose, significance, operation process, precautions for cooperation during the operation, what kind of uncomfortable reactions, adverse reactions of drugs, etc. of this operation, so that patients have a general understanding of the operation process, eliminate patients' ideological concerns, stabilize patients' emotions, put them in the best state to receive treatment, and minimize the negative effects of treatment caused by psychological factors.

Psychological manifestations and nursing strategies of liver cancer patients:

1. Suspicion: Once a patient learns that he has cancer, he will be restless, seek confirmation from many sources, feel nervous, and be suspicious. Therefore, medical staff should be cautious in their words and deeds, find out the purpose of the patient's inquiry, answer the patient's questions scientifically and tactfully, and avoid speaking directly to reduce the patient's degree of shock, so as to prevent the patient from losing confidence in treatment.

2. Fear: Patients know that they have cancer and often show fear, despair, loss of hope for life, and worry about their loved ones. Nurses should sympathize with patients, give comfort, and encourage patients to actively accept treatment to avoid delaying the disease. They should also emphasize the role of psychology in the disease and encourage patients to accept treatment with a positive attitude.

3. Pessimistic psychology: When patients are diagnosed with cancer, they will feel pessimistic and disappointed, which is manifested as more disappointment than expectation, depression, and unhappiness. At this time, nurses should show care, explain that the disease is being treated, and emphasize that a good mood is conducive to the prognosis of the disease.

4. Acceptance psychology: After a period of time, the patient begins to accept the fact that he has the disease, his mind becomes clear and stable, he is willing to accept treatment, and he places hope on treatment. Nurses should apply "suggestion" therapy in time, publicize the significance of treatment, and eliminate unfavorable factors to treatment, such as social factors, family factors, etc.

5. Disappointment or optimism: Because everyone's physique and degree of adaptation are different, the treatment effect is also different. Some patients' conditions are under control, they are good at adjusting their minds, and they live in a harmonious emotional environment. Patients are in an optimistic state for a long time. Some gradually deteriorate, have a large response to treatment, a heavy economic burden, are physically exhausted, and are mentally depressed, waiting for death passively. Nurses should analyze the reasons for negative patients, provide psychological comfort, adjust the patient's mentality in time, and provide life guidance; for optimistic patients, they should provide rehabilitation guidance and pay attention to psychological changes so as to find problems and solve them in time. In addition, nurses should also have skilled nursing skills and good psychological qualities to make patients feel psychologically satisfied and happy. Nurses should be compassionate, calm and enthusiastic, patient and decisive, have keen observation, and treat patients of different ages and different personalities and status equally, fairly and impartially, gain the trust of patients, establish a good nurse-patient relationship, be good at understanding patients' mistakes, not contradict patients, and be magnanimous. In terms of speech, nurses should be kind and patient, caring and considerate, and speak in a gentle tone. They should listen carefully during conversations and not interrupt at will. They should pay attention to observing the patient's condition, understanding his thoughts, and accepting reasonable suggestions. During the conversation, they should pay attention to protective language. The diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of the patient should be rigorous and have scientific basis. They must not be subjective and arbitrary, or make random guesses.
