Group Work Study On Stress Relief Of Primary Caregivers Of Terminal Cancer Patients

With the increasing number of cancer patients,the number of family caregivers is also increasing.Caring for terminal cancer patients not only has a great impact on their physical and mental health,but also reduces their quality of life.For most caregivers of patients with advanced cancer,the pressure of taking care of patients makes them have no extra energy to pay attention to their physical and mental health,and lack of channels to vent their emotions and ways to relieve the pressure.How to use the professional group work method of social work to effectively intervene in the stress relief of caregivers of patients with advanced cancer is worth exploring.There are few studies on the intervention of caregivers’ stress relief,but it is of great significance to control caregivers’ stress relief.First of all,50 caregivers in the four wards of the hospital were investigated with the stress questionnaire compiled by Yang Yanzhong,a general demographic data questionnaire scholar.Seventeen homogeneous and willing to participate in the group were selected.The caregiver stress status of caregivers was known through the caregiver stress scale jointly developed by Novak m and guest.Secondly,through the semi-structured interview,it was found that the caregivers had needs in decompression and relaxation,emotion regulation and social support.Finally,according to the previous survey results,17 caregivers were divided into intervention group(n = 8)and control group(n = 9).The stress level of both groups was above moderate.On the basis of understanding the needs of the research objects,the author carried out group activities once a week for five times in the intervention group according to the social support theory,while the control group did not do any intervention.The results show that group work is conducive to relieving the pressure of the main caregivers of patients with terminal cancer.The comprehensive score and the score of each dimension of the stress level of the intervention group decreased,and the degree of stress changed from moderate to mild.However,the change degree of each dimension is different.In this study,the decrease degree of time burden,developmental burden and emotional burden is larger than that of physical burden and social burden,which indicates that the intervention of group work method can effectively relieve the pressure of primary caregivers,and the pressure relief of group members has been changed positively,with significant effect,Finally,the practical process of reflection: the first is to shorten the cycle of group activities;The second is to train group leaders;The third is to maintain the effect of group service;The fourth is the application of "Case + group" service mode;The fifth is the follow-up and follow-up of service objects.
