Abstract

Background: It is important to address the problems of parents of children with cancer to reduce the negative consequences, especially in mothers as primary caregivers. Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the effect of cognitive-emotional intervention on the psychological distress of mothers of children with cancer in the chemotherapy ward. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 100 mothers of children with cancer who presented to the chemotherapy ward of the hospitals affiliated to Zahedan University of Medical Sciences in 2018. The eligible mothers were chosen conveniently and then randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. Mothers in the intervention group received five sessions of cognitive-emotional intervention, two sessions per week. Each session took about 60 to 90 minutes on average per group. Before and sixteen weeks after the end of the intervention, data were collected using the Kessler Psychological Distress scale (K-10). The data were analyzed using SPSS 21 utilizing statistical tests, including independent and paired t-tests, Chi-square, and covariance analysis. Results: Although there was no difference in the mean score of psychological distress before the intervention (P = 0.5), but the results showed that the mean score of psychological distress of mothers of children with cancer after cognitive-emotional intervention was significantly lower in the intervention group (6.16 ± 3.40) than the control group (16.84 ± 6.67) (P = 0.001). Conclusions: Cognitive-emotional intervention had a significant positive effect on reducing psychological distress in mothers of children with cancer. Such interventions are recommended for parents, especially mothers in the chemotherapy ward.
认知情绪干预对癌症患儿母亲心理困扰的影响
背景:重要的是要解决癌症儿童的父母的问题,以减少负面后果,特别是母亲作为主要照顾者。目的:本研究旨在探讨认知情绪干预对化疗病房癌症患儿母亲心理困扰的影响。方法:对2018年扎黑丹医学院附属医院化疗病房就诊的100名癌症患儿母亲进行随机临床试验。方便地选择符合条件的母亲,然后随机分配到干预组和对照组。干预组的母亲接受了五次认知情绪干预,每周两次。每个小组每次平均花费60到90分钟。在干预结束前和干预结束后16周,使用Kessler心理困扰量表(K-10)收集数据。采用SPSS 21进行统计检验,包括独立t检验、配对t检验、卡方检验和协方差分析。结果:干预前两组患者的心理困扰平均分差异无统计学意义(P = 0.5),但结果显示,干预组癌症患儿母亲在认知情绪干预后的心理困扰平均分(6.16±3.40)明显低于对照组(16.84±6.67)(P = 0.001)。结论:认知情绪干预对减轻癌症患儿母亲的心理困扰有显著的积极作用。建议父母,特别是化疗病房的母亲采取此类干预措施。
