Abstract
BACKGROUND
This study designed an offline to online cognitive behavioral stress management (OOCBSM) caring program, intending to investigate its effect on mental health and quality of life (QoL) using multiple scales in postoperative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.
METHODS
254 postoperative HCC patients were randomly (1:1) allocated into OOCBSM (included a 10-week offline CBSM and subsequent online CBSM until M6) and normal care (NC) groups (10-week NC). Hospital anxiety-and-depression scale (HADS), Zung's self-reporting anxiety (SAS) and depression scale (SDS), FACIT-SP, European quality-of-life-5 dimensions (EQ-5D), and quality-of-life questionnaire-core30 (QLQ-C30) were assessed over 6 months (M).
RESULTS
HADS-defined-anxiety rates at M3 (P = 0.036) and M6 (P = 0.025), SAS-defined-anxiety rate at M6 (P = 0.049), HADS-defined-depression rates at M3 (P = 0.026) and M6 (P = 0.049), and SDS-defined-depression rates at M3 (P = 0.015) and M6 (P = 0.043) were all lower in OOCBSM group compared to NC group. Furthermore, FACIT-SP scores at M1 (P = 0.004), M3 (P = 0.003), and M6 (P<0.001) were higher in OOCBSM group compared with NC group. EQ-5D scores at M1 (P = 0.025) and M3 (P = 0.030) but not M6 (P = 0.128), and QLQ-C30-symptom score at M3 (P = 0.014) but not M1 (P = 0.198) and M6 (P = 0.058) were lower in OOCBSM group versus NC group; QLQ-C30-global-health-status scores at M3 (P = 0.027) and M6 (P = 0.001) but not M1 (P = 0.312), QLQ-C30-function scores at M3 (P = 0.005) and M6 (P = 0.001) but not M1 (P = 0.084) were higher in OOCBSM group versus NC group. Patients with younger ages or higher education benefited more from OOCBSM.
CONCLUSION
OOCBSM improves psychological pressure, spiritual well-being, and QoL in postoperative HCC patients, especially in those with younger ages or higher education.
