Objective:To explore the influence of emotional intervention of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)on self-care ability and quality of life of patients with esophageal cancer undergoing radiotherapy.Methods:A total of 80 patients with esophageal cancer undergoing radiotherapy in our hospital from May 2020 to May 2022 were ran-domly divided into the control group and the observation group,with 40 patients in each group.The control group was given routine intervention,and the observation group was given emotional intervention of traditional Chinese medicine on the basis of the control group.The psychological status(SAS and SDS),hope level[Chinese version of Herth Hope Scale(HHI)],cancer-related fatigue[(Piper Fatigue Revised Self Rating Scale(RPFS)],self-care a-bility(ESCA)and quality of life(EORTC QLQ-C30)were compared between the two groups.Results:After inter-vention,SAS scores and SDS scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(t=-4.837,-4.004;P＜0.001),HHI scores in all dimensions were significantly higher(t=5.050,6.441,5.260;P＜0.001),RPFS scores in all dimensions were significantly lower(t=-4.622,-5.683,-4.949,-5.013;P＜0.001),ESC A scores in all dimensions were significantly higher(t=5.862,5.170,7.120,5.546;P＜0.001),EORTC QLQ-C30 scores in all dimensions were significantly higher(t=7.358,6.468,4.133,4.813,6.615;P＜0.001).Conclusion:Emo-tional intervention of traditional Chinese medicine can significantly improve the psychological status of patients with esophageal cancer undergoing radiotherapy,enhance the level of hope,reduce cancer-related fatigue,improve the a-bility of self-care,and improve the quality of life.
