Abstract

Anxiety levels were measured in order to assess the effect of watching movies during the chemotherapy administration. The cancer patients are assigned alternately to either the control or experimental group. The control group was received standard care and experimental group was watched movie approximately 1 to 2 hours during the administration of the chemotherapy. Sixty eight cancer patients so far have participated. Thirty four were males. The mean age was 49 years. Thirty eight patients were in the experimental group, 30 patients were in the controls. There was reduction of state anxiety scores in both groups, but difference between groups and changes in anxiety scores was not statistically significant. Gender differences in experimental group (p=0.02) and all groups (p=0.01) were found significant mean difference STAI scores. Anxiety is common in cancer patients. In this study showed that anxiety scores in men were not statistical significant differences before and after CT between groups. However there was significant reduction of state anxiety scores in women by watching movie. Intervention therapies during CT for symptom control may influence the psychological factors associated with treatment in cancer patients.

Özet

Kanser hastalarının kemoterapi uygulamaları sırasında film izlemenin etkilerini ölçmek için anksiyete düzeyleri ölçüldü. Hastalar kontrol ve çalışma grubu olarak ayrıldı. Kontrol grubuna standart bakım verildi. Çalışma grubuna kemoterapi alırken yaklaşık 1-2 saat boyunca film izletildi. Tüm katılımcılara kemoterapi öncesi ve sonrasında anksiyete düzeylerini değerlendirmek için Süreksiz Durumluluk / Sürekli Kaygı Envanteri (State Trait Inventory -STAI) uygulandı. 68 hasta dahil edildi. 34’ü erkek ve toplam grubun yaş ortalaması 49’du. 38 hasta çalışma, 30’u kontrol grubuna alındı. Her iki grupta anksiyete skorlarında belirgin azalma saptanmakla birlikte, gruplar arasında ve kemoterapi öncesi ve sonrasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlılık elde edilmedi. Tüm grup (p=0.01) ve çalışma grubunda (p=0.02) kadınlardaki anksiyete skorlarındaki değişiklikler istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulundu. Kanser hastalarında anksiyete sıktır. Bu çalışmada erkeklerde kemoterapi öncesi ve sonrasında anksiyete skorlarında istatistiksel anlamlı değişim gözlenmemiştir. Kadınlarda ise kemoterapi sırasında film izleme ile anksiyete düzeylerinde anlamlı düşüş oldu. Kanserin kemoterapileri sırasında semptom kontrolü için destek uygulamalar, tedavi ilişkili psikolojik faktörleri etkileyebilir.
