子宫颈癌患者的心理治疗

Psychotherapy for cervical cancer patients

子宫颈癌是女性生殖系统常见的恶性肿瘤,发病率居高不下且呈年轻化趋势。除了肿瘤本身造成的躯体不适外,目前常用的治疗方式包括手术、放疗、化疗、免疫治疗等均可对患者躯体造成一定的影响。躯体不适可引起情绪障碍,情绪障碍又可加重患者的躯体不适。此外,患者雌激素水平下降、性功能低下、经济压力、对肿瘤本身及对复发的恐惧等严重影响患者社会心理状态,也可能造成失眠、焦虑、抑郁等一系列心理障碍,降低患者的生存质量。恰当的心理治疗可有效地改善子宫颈癌患者的心理状态,缓解焦虑、抑郁等负性情绪,提高患者的生存质量及对治疗的依从性,从而改善子宫颈癌的治疗效果。
