How to improve the psychological pain of cancer patients?
For example, sleep disorder, loss of appetite, upset and flustered, fear and anxiety, depression and so on, these emotions will directly affect the rehabilitation of cancer patients. Here are some simple principles for cancer patients to help them improve their psychological pain: 1. Don't believe the old saying that cancer equals death. The World Health Organization has three conclusions about cancer: 1/3 cancer can be prevented, 1/3 cancer can be cured and 65438+. 2. Vent bad emotions as reasonably as possible, and you can tell your family, friends and medical staff. Don't keep bad emotions in your heart for a long time; Try to return to society as much as possible, instead of shutting yourself in the house and struggling silently all day. You should take the initiative to get social support and get support from the best resources around you, such as family, friends and doctors. Participating in various support groups, whether between patients or colleagues, may improve your bad psychological state, and meet some people who really understand your feelings, which will also play a role of mutual support. 3. Get in touch with nature. Man is a product of nature. Go to nature as much as possible when physical conditions permit, such as parks, beaches, jungles and grasslands. 4. We should consciously adjust our mentality, such as deep breathing and relaxation, Tai Chi, yoga, meditation and health qigong. Physical exercise is also a good way to adjust your mentality, which can effectively control your fears and anxieties. 5. A lot of psychological pain is not something we can get rid of easily. We need the help of psychologists. Seeing a psychiatrist, many methods and techniques of psychotherapy and some drugs are very effective in improving various emotional symptoms. 6. Don't underestimate the inner pain, especially the problem of sleep. Sleep has a great influence on health, and the emergence of sleep disorders can often be solved not only by taking a valium. Let the psychologist help find out the real cause of insomnia and carry out targeted treatment. 7. Don't blame yourself for causing cancer. Even if smoking or other behaviors increase the risk of cancer, blaming yourself or beating yourself up won't help. 8. Deal with cancer with a good attitude every day. Try to make your heart live in the present forever. Don't always regret yesterday or always look forward to tomorrow. Only living today is the most real and important thing. By doing so, you will avoid unnecessary anxiety. This attitude will also pay more attention to the present and make better use of every day. 9. Find a doctor who respects and trusts each other and can accept any problems. Insist on cooperating with him during the treatment, ask about the side effects of the treatment, and be prepared. Think about possible problems in advance, so that when you really encounter these problems, you can be more calm. 10. Don't hide your worries about physical or psychological symptoms from your closest relatives. Let the closest person accompany you to see a doctor and talk about treatment. Can help explain and record what the doctor said. When patients suspect that they have a tumor or have been diagnosed with a tumor, they often have various complicated mentality. Because people's understanding of tumors is different, everyone's outlook on life, values, psychological quality, personality and cultivation are also different, so the psychology of suffering from tumors is also different. Some cancer patients will be indifferent, too detached, not actively treated, and let them die; Some people are overly nervous, worried, afraid, depressed and even pessimistic; Some people can correctly understand and face the disease bravely and rationally, that is, they are not afraid of fear or treat it lightly, but strive to gain time and actively cooperate with the treatment. What kind of mentality patients hold is very important for the treatment and rehabilitation of tumors. The first two kinds of mentality are not conducive to treatment, and the latter should be advocated by us. 1. To understand the relevant knowledge and correctly understand the cancer patients themselves, we need to know some basic knowledge of cancer, and understand the current medical viewpoints, research trends and development trends of cancer prevention and treatment. In recent decades, mankind has made great efforts to conquer tumors and achieved remarkable results. Malignant tumor is no longer a terminal disease. Nowadays, science and technology are changing with each passing day. We should change our old habits and ideas. Admittedly, malignant tumor is a disease that is difficult to prevent and treat, but it is only one of human diseases. The consequences caused by tumor are not more serious than myocardial infarction, stroke and hyperlipidemia. 2. Face the reality bravely and establish a firm belief, no one will get this or that disease in this life. Although human beings have done a lot of work in their own health care and disease prevention, some diseases will still meet unexpectedly. Whether it is a serious illness or a minor illness, malignant or benign, we should have a materialistic attitude and face this objective reality calmly. Especially for malignant tumors, just like for vicious enemies, we should have the determination to fight bravely and dare to win, and establish a strong spiritual belief. If the patient loses the faith of struggle and is crushed by all kinds of setbacks, even the disease with hope of cure will be incurable in the end. What's more, with the rapid development of science and technology, new anticancer drugs or treatment technologies may be developed and applied to clinic at any time, and there may be a major breakthrough in the treatment of malignant tumors at any time. Every day of life may bring new opportunities and hopes. Therefore, for the patient himself, as long as there is a breath and a glimmer of hope, his faith and spirit must not collapse. 3. Improve psychological quality and be good at self-regulation. Even people with good psychological quality will have a process of psychological fluctuation and change after they begin to doubt whether they have a tumor, after they are diagnosed through examination, and during treatment and later rehabilitation. Then patients need to be good at self-psychological adjustment, which is a problem that every tumor patient should pay attention to and must pay attention to. They should actively adjust, maintain a stable psychological state and enter a virtuous circle. In most cases, patients' psychological state changes in stages, which is often complicated and contradictory. They are nostalgic for a better life and have hope for the future, but they can't bear the torture of illness. Sometimes, with the failure of a certain treatment or the development and deterioration of the disease, they will lose courage and confidence. This is the least desirable. For patients, the more serious the illness, the more tenacious perseverance is needed to fight the disease. A positive and optimistic attitude towards life is a powerful weapon that every patient should have. Because cancer is no longer a terminal disease, early cancer can be completely cured. Even in the advanced stage, there are still treatments, some can relieve the pain, and some can live with the tumor for a long time. Therefore, cancer patients can learn to reduce psychological pressure and adjust their psychological state.
