Objective:
To examine effects of progressive muscle relaxation training on depression, anxiety and quality of life in female cervical
cancer patients in pre-operational stage for getting support in improving the quality of nursing.
Methods:
A total of 200 patients were randomly allocated to the intervention group (n=100) receiving progressive muscle relaxation
training plus routine nursing care and the control group (n=100) receiving routine nursing care. The state was assessed with Self-rating
Depression Scale (SDS), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT-B).
Results:
The intervention group patients had significant improvements in depression, anxiety and quality of life after 5 weeks, P<0.05,
but the control group patients had no significant improvement in depression, anxiety and quality of life, P>0.05. The intervention
group patients had significantly larger improvements in depression, anxiety and quality of life than those of the control group, P<0.05.
Conclusion:
Progressive muscle relaxation training can improve depression, anxiety and quality of life in female cervical cancer
patients in pre-operational stage. This way should be used widely in clinic.
