Abstract

Background: Parents of children with cancer experience intense anxiety. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of emotion regulation training based on the Gross model on anxiety among the parents of children with cancer. Method: This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 60 parents of children with cancer admitted to a 130-bed pediatric hospital in Western Iran in 2018. Anxiety level was assessed pre- and post-intervention using the Beck Anxiety Inventory. The individuals of the test group attended emotion regulation training based on the Gross model, while the participants in the control group received routine training. The data were analyzed by the SPSS software version 23 using the repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and independent t-test. Results: Our findings demonstrated that the mean age of participants was 32.5±5.09 and 32.26±4.9 years in the intervention and control groups, respectively. Total anxiety scores of the intervention and control groups pre-intervention were obtained as 33.9±7.1 and 34.3±7.4, respectively. This score changed to 19.2±1.47 in the test group and 33.73±1.36 in the control group immediately post-intervention. Moreover, three months post-intervention, the scores of 22.17±5.8 and 34.03±6.96 were observed in the control and intervention groups, respectively. The repeated measures ANOVA revealed a significant difference between the two groups in terms of the effect of the intervention (P<0.001). Implications for Practice: Emotion regulation training based on the Gross model could decrease anxiety levels in the parents of children with cancer. Therefore, it is recommended to be applied by caregivers for this group of people

基于毛模型的情绪调节训练对癌症患儿家长焦虑的影响

背景:癌症患儿的父母经历了强烈的焦虑。目的:本研究旨在评估基于Gross模型的情绪调节训练对癌症患儿家长焦虑的影响。方法:本随机对照临床试验对伊朗西部一家拥有130个床位的儿科医院2018年收治的60名癌症患儿家长进行研究。使用贝克焦虑量表评估干预前和干预后的焦虑水平。实验组接受基于Gross模型的情绪调节训练，对照组接受常规训练。数据分析采用SPSS软件23版，采用重复测量方差分析(ANOVA)和独立t检验。结果:干预组和对照组的平均年龄分别为32.5±5.09岁和32.26±4.9岁。干预组和对照组干预前焦虑总分分别为33.9±7.1分和34.3±7.4分。干预后即刻，实验组为19.2±1.47分，对照组为33.73±1.36分。干预后3个月，对照组和干预组得分分别为22.17±5.8分和34.03±6.96分。重复测量方差分析显示两组在干预效果方面存在显著差异(P<0.001)。实践启示:基于Gross模型的情绪调节训练可以降低癌症儿童父母的焦虑水平。因此，建议由护理人员应用于这一人群

期刊介绍： The Evidence Based Care Journal (EBCJ) is an international, peer reviewed, scientific journal that seeks to promote the development and exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to all spheres of patient care. The primary aim is to promote a high standard of clinically related scholarship which advances and supports patient care in practice. The Journal also aims to promote the international exchange of ideas and experience that draws from the different cultures in which practice takes place. Further, EBCJ seeks to enrich insight into clinical needs and the implications for patient care intervention and models of service delivery. Emphasis is placed on clinical practicality of research findings and strength of study design. EBCJ is essential reading for anyone involved in healthcare professions, whether clinicians, researchers, educators, managers, policy makers, or students. Contributions are welcomed from other health professionals on issues that have a direct impact on patient care.
