Abstract

Objectives: In our previous study, we conducted a 6-month WeChat education and care program for parents of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients, which was effectively alleviated anxiety, depression, and insomnia. This study implemented a 12-week WeChat education, relaxing, and care program (WERC) to investigate its effect on psychological disorders and insomnia in parents of childhood lymphoma patients.

Methods: Totally, 112 parents of 56 childhood lymphoma patients were randomized at a 1:1 ratio into WERC (N = 56) or normal care (NC) (N = 56) groups to receive corresponding 12-week interventions. The self-rating anxiety/depression scale (SAS/SDS), Athens insomnia scale (AIS), and impact of events scale-revised (IES-R) scores were assessed at enrollment (W0) and 12 weeks after the initiation of the intervention (W12); score changes (W0-W12) were also calculated.

Results: Scores of the scales at W0 did not differ between groups (all P > 0.05). The WERC group showed a lower SAS score at W12 (P = 0.045) and greater change in SAS score (P < 0.001) than the NC group. The SDS score at W12 was not different (P = 0.119), while SDS score change was numerically greater (P = 0.076) in the WERC group than the NC group. Compared with the NC group, the WERC group tended toward a decreased AIS score at W12 (P = 0.054) and a greater AIS score change (P < 0.001). The IES-R score at W12 was lower (P = 0.040), and the IES-R score change was greater (P = 0.013) in the WERC group than the NC group.

Conclusion: A 12-week WERC ameliorates psychological disorders and insomnia better than NC in parents of childhood lymphoma patients.

为期12周的微信教育、放松和护理项目缓解了儿童淋巴瘤患者家长的焦虑、抑郁、失眠和创伤后应激障碍。

研究目的在之前的研究中，我们对小儿急性淋巴细胞白血病患者的家长开展了为期6个月的微信教育和关怀项目，有效缓解了他们的焦虑、抑郁和失眠。本研究实施了为期12周的微信教育、放松和关怀项目（WERC），以探讨其对儿童淋巴瘤患者家长心理障碍和失眠的影响：56名儿童淋巴瘤患者的112名家长按1:1的比例随机分为WERC组（56人）和普通护理组（56人），接受相应的12周干预。在入组（W0）和干预开始 12 周后（W12），对焦虑/抑郁自评量表（SAS/SDS）、雅典失眠量表（AIS）和事件影响量表修订版（IES-R）的得分进行评估，并计算得分变化（W0-W12）：结果：各组在 W0 时的量表评分没有差异（P 均大于 0.05）。WERC 组在 W12 时的 SAS 分数较低（P = 0.045），SAS 分数变化较大（P P = 0.119），而 WERC 组的 SDS 分数变化在数值上大于 NC 组（P = 0.076）。与 NC 组相比，WERC 组在 W12 期的 AIS 评分趋于下降（P = 0.054），AIS 评分变化较大（P P = 0.040），WERC 组的 IES-R 评分变化大于 NC 组（P = 0.013）：结论：与NC相比，为期12周的WERC能更好地改善儿童淋巴瘤患者父母的心理障碍和失眠。
