Abstract
This study aimed to explore the effect of combined psychological and nutritional interventions on anxiety, depression, nutritional status, and quality of life among liver cancer patients implanted with iodine-125 seeds under the PERMA model. A total of 82 liver cancer patients admitted to our hospital were randomly allocated into two groups: a control group receiving routine care and an observation group receiving the aforementioned combined intervention under the PERMA model. The study duration spanned three months, after which the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form, and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire scores were compared between the groups. Post-intervention findings revealed that the observation group exhibited significantly higher scores in hospital anxiety and depression assessments compared to the control group. Additionally, the observation group demonstrated a significantly higher proportion of patients with good nutritional status, as per the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form. Furthermore, improvements were observed across all dimensions of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire, with the observation group showing significantly higher scores in comparison to the control group. These findings highlight the substantial value of integrating psychological intervention with nutritional support within the PERMA model as a means to enhance clinical nursing practices.
期刊介绍:
Current Topics in Nutraceutical Research is an international, interdisciplinary broad-based peer reviewed scientific journal for critical evaluation of research on chemistry, biology and therapeutic applications of nutraceuticals and functional foods. The major goal of this journal is to provide peer reviewed unbiased scientific data to the decision makers in the nutraceutical and food industry to help make informed choices about development of new products.
To this end, the journal will publish two types of review articles. First, a review of preclinical research data coming largely from animal, cell culture and other experimental models. Such data will provide basis for future product development and/or human research initiatives. Second, a critical evaluation of current human experimental data to help market and deliver the product for medically proven use. This journal will also serve as a forum for nutritionists, internists, neurologists, psychiatrists, and all those interested in preventive medicine.
The common denominator of all of the topic to be covered by the journal must include nutraceuticals and/functional food. The following is an example of some specific areas that may be of interest to the journal. i) Role of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients on cardiovascular health, cancer, diabetes, ocular health, mental health, men’s health, women’s health, infant nutrition, ii) Role of herbals on human health, iii) Dietary supplements and sleep, iv) Components of diet that may have beneficial effect on human health, v) regulation of apoptosis and cell viability, vi) Isolation and characterization of bioactive components from functional foods, vii) Nutritional genomics, and viii) Nutritional proteomics.
