Article Abstract
Background: Gastric cancer is a malignant digestive tract tumor that originates from the epithelium of the gastric mucosa and occurs in the gastric antrum, particularly in the lower curvature of the stomach.
Aim: To evaluate the impact of a positive web-based psychological intervention on emotions, psychological capital, and quality of survival in gastric cancer patients on chemotherapy.
Methods: From January 2020 to October 2023, 121 cases of gastric cancer patients on chemotherapy admitted to our hospital were collected and divided into a control group ( = 60) and an observation group ( = 61) according to the admission order. They were given either conventional nursing care alone and conventional nursing care combined with web-based positive psychological interventions, respectively. The two groups were compared in terms of negative emotions, psychological capital, degree of cancer-caused fatigue, and quality of survival.
Results: After intervention, the number of patients in the observation group who had negative feelings toward chemotherapy treatment was significantly lower than that of the control group ( < 0.05); the Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire score was considerably higher than that of the control group ( < 0.05); the degree of cancer-caused fatigue was significantly lower than that of the control group ( < 0.05); and the Quality of Life Scale for Cancer Patients (QLQ-30) score was significantly higher than that of the control group ( < 0.05).
Conclusion: Implementing a web-based positive psychological intervention for gastric cancer chemotherapy patients can effectively improve negative emotions, enhance psychological capital, and improve the quality of survival.
