Abstract
BACKGROUND: The incidence of anxiety in patients with breast cancer is high, which seriously affects the physical and mental health of patients. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the effect of acupoint stimulation on the anxiety of patients with breast cancer during operations and in the waiting period for intraoperative frozen section analysis. METHODS: Sixty patients with breast cancer experiencing anxiety who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group. The patients in the control group received routine nursing, and the patients in the experimental group were given acupoint stimulation on the basis of routine nursing. The HAMD scores, blood pressure readings, and heart rates were recorded before admission at one hour before the operation and in the waiting period for intraoperative frozen section analysis. RESULTS: The HAMD scores, blood pressure readings, and heart rates of the two groups showed an upward trend at all time points, and the differences were statistically significant. Compared with the control group, there were significant differences in indices detected at one hour before the operation and in the waiting period for intraoperative frozen section analysis. CONCLUSION: Acupoint stimulation therapy can effectively alleviate anxiety in patients with breast cancer.
