ObjectiveTo investigate the improvement of C-type behavior patterns of staged cognitive intervention in perioperative lung cancer patients with protective medicine.

MethodsNew lung cancer patients and family caregivers in Department of Thoracic Surgery of The First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China between June 2018 and December 2018 were enrolled as the study subjects.Forty lung cancer patients and 40 caregivers, 40 patients and 40 last effective cases were divided into the final intervention group, intervention group and control group, respectively.The C-type behavior patterns among 3 groups were compared before and after intervention.

ResultsThere was no statistical significance in the scores of subscales of C-type behavior pattern before intervention among three groups at admission(P > 0.05), and the differences of the anxiety, depression, anger, optimist and social support of C-type behavior patterns among three groups were statistically significant after intervention(P < 0.05 to P < 0.01).After intervention, the differences of anger, intrinsic anger, extrinsic anger, reason and control of C-type behavior patterns among three groups were not statistically significant(P > 0.05), the decreasing degree of anxiety, depression, anger inward and anger scores in the control group, intervention group and final intervention group were gradually increased(P < 0.05 to P < 0.01), and the increasing degree of optimist and social support scores in the control group, intervention group and final intervention group were gradually increased(P < 0.05 to P < 0.01).

ConclusionsThe staged cognitive intervention in improving the C-type behavior patterns of perioperative lung cancer patients with protective medicine is effective, and the effects of family caregivers synchronous cognitive intervention is more better than that of patients cognitive intervention only.
