目的:了解临终关怀对住院老年临终患者生活质量及心理状态的影响。方法:选择住院晚期肿瘤患者76例,分为研究组和对照组(n=38)。对研究组患者实施1个月以上的临终关怀护理干预,对照组按常规进行整体护理,观察干预前后2组患者在生活质量、社会支持、生活满意度及焦虑抑郁情绪等方面的情况。结果:研究组患者接受干预后在生活质量(QOL)总分及其分类指标如食欲、精神、睡眠、家庭理解与配合、对癌症的认识、对治疗的态度、面部表情以及生活满意度、社会支持总分及主观支持、对支持的利用度各方面评分均高于干预前和干预后对照组(P<0.05或P<0.01);焦虑、抑郁水平低于干预前和干预后对照组(P<0.05或P<0.01)。对照组除在生活质量分类指标中的疼痛、日常生活情况、面部表情以及社会支持总分和主观支持度评分降低外(P<0.05或P<0.01),其他变化均无统计学意义。结论:临终关怀可以提高老年住院临终患者的生活质量、主观支持度、对支持的利用度及生活满意度,同时可以降低焦虑抑郁等负性情绪,改善心理状态。
