Abstract
Objective To explore the current status of information overload in patients with esophageal cancer and its relationship with fear of disease progression.Methods A total of 138 patients with esophageal cancer admitted to the department of gastroenterology in our hospital from May 2021 to February 2024 were selected as the study objects by convenience sampling method.Cancer Information Overloading(CIO)Scale was used to evaluate the cancer information overload situation of esophageal cancer patients.The Decision Conflict Scale(DCS)was used to evaluate the decision-making ability of esophageal cancer patients.The Fear of Disease Progression Scale(FoP-Q-SF)was used to evaluate the fear of disease progression among esophage-al cancer patients.The relationship between information overload,decision-making level,and fear of disease progression in esophageal cancer patients were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis.Results The total score of the CIO scale for esophageal cancer patients was(19.29±8.12)points.The uncertainty score in the DCS scale was(6.02±1.98)points,the influencing decision factor was(18.46±4.63)points,the effective de-cision was(7.53±2.06)points,and the total score was(31.79±7.12)points.The physiological health score in the FoP-Q-SF scale was(17.66±4.57)points,the social and family score was(17.48±5.63)points,and the total score was(35.27±10.43)points.The CIO score was positively correlated with the DCS score(r=0.441,P＜0.05)and also positively correlated with the FoP-Q-SF score(r=0.367,P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in the CIO score,DCS score,and FoP-Q-SF score between esophageal cancer patients of different genders(P＞0.05).There were significant differences in CIO score,DCS score,and FoP-Q-SF score among esophageal cancer patients of different ages,educational levels,and pathological stages(P＜0.05).Con-clusion Information overload can lead to decision-making delays and increased fear of disease progression in patients with esophageal cancer.关键词
