Abstract

Patients with breast cancer frequently experience psychological distress. This study aimed to investigate the effect of narrative nursing on middle-aged patients with breast cancer. In all, 82 patients with breast cancer admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University were divided into two groups, namely, the observation group and the control group, by simple random sampling, with 41 cases in each group. The patients in both groups were treated with breast cancer surgery. Additionally, the control group received routine nursing, whereas the observation group received narrative nursing based on the control group. After 8 weeks of nursing, the SAS (self-rating anxiety scale) and SDS (self-rating depression scale) scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.01). At the same time, the result of family hardiness showed that the patients with narrative nursing performed better in commitment, challenge, and control (P < 0.01). In conclusion, narrative nursing can alleviate the postoperative shame and negative emotions of patients with breast cancer and improve their quality of life.
