Key points of psychological care for osteosarcoma

Osteosarcoma is a disease that mostly occurs in young children, especially adolescents under 20 years old, who are a high-risk group. Children of this age are usually not mentally mature, and when they encounter such a disease, they often feel painful, depressed, and even desperate. Therefore, psychological care is particularly important in this situation. Today we will talk about the key points of psychological care for osteosarcoma.

When it comes to the care of osteosarcoma patients, the most important thing is probably psychological care, so good psychological care is the key to care. The key points of psychological care for osteosarcoma patients are mainly divided into several situations. Let's analyze them one by one:

For patients with negative psychology, nursing staff must do a good job of explaining, especially for patients with malignant osteosarcoma who often have psychological reactions such as fear and pessimism, to eliminate patients' concerns and actively cooperate with treatment.

For patients who are suffering from pain, the pain seriously affects the patient's body and mind, affects their sleep, and is not conducive to their recovery. Nurses should find ways to divert the patient's attention and use appropriate drugs to relieve the pain.

For patients who are hopeless and pessimistic, nursing staff should be patient and talk to them frequently, encourage them to exercise more within the feasible range, especially to prevent muscle atrophy, and also guide uncooperative pessimistic patients to keep their personality cheerful and their mood happy. Nursing staff must not get angry and deal with things calmly.

The above are the key points of psychological care for osteosarcoma patients. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. I wish all osteosarcoma patients can recover as soon as possible and regain their health soon.
