Abstract
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess the couple based coping intervention (CBCI) for self-efficacy and quality of life in patients with resected lung cancer, compared with individual coping intervention (ICI). METHODS: From October to December 2015, 132 consecutive patients with resected lung cancer who were married/lived in a stable relationship were randomly assigned to the ICI group and the CBCI group. RESULTS: The CBCI group had higher GSES compared with the ICI group at 2 month after operation, and at 6 month after operation (P<0.05). The CBCI group had higher VT, SF, RE, and MH score of SF-36 compared with the ICI group at 2 month after operation, and at 6 month after operation (P<0.05), but no significant differences were found in RP, PF, BP, and GH score of SF-36 compared between two groups (P>0.05) in these 2 time points. CONCLUSION:Couple based coping intervention is more effective than individual coping intervention for improving the self-efficacy and the quality of life in patients with resected lung cancer. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Practitioners might like to consider using couple based coping intervention strategy to improve self-efficacy and quality of life in patients with resected lung cancer.
