The psychological effect of medication for patients with tumor

Seeing my topic, maybe you wondered, will there be a psychological effect of medication? The answer is yes. Today's medical model is "biological-psychological-social model", and any disease is inseparable from social and psychological factors behind the influence of biology.

For example, at our tumor hospital, when it comes to chemotherapy, many people's first reactions are "poison". In my mind, there will even be a few pictures, "hair loss", "weakness", "nausea and vomiting" and so on. In short, listening to "chemotherapy" color changes, it seems that fear and pain are about to follow. Even if it is sensitive to chemotherapy and is cured by root treatment chemotherapy, some patients will have anxiety and fear of chemotherapy drugs, and the treatment effect will naturally decrease.

There is such a young patient in the Department of Internal Medicine. She was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. After the doctor suggested chemotherapy, she cried. As a nurse and a clinical spiritual caregiver, I decided to visit her.

Nurse: Wu Xiaomei, I heard that you are unhappy today, let me see you!

Patient: Yes, I am afraid of chemotherapy, what should I do?

Nurse: Why are you afraid? Can you tell me about it?

Patient: Aunt Li, who was in bed next door yesterday, poured chemotherapy, vomited shocking, and looked uncomfortable. Today, the doctor said that I would also have chemotherapy, so I searched a lot of chemotherapy -related content on the Internet. It was found that many people gave up chemotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs "poison" would accelerate death, right? I'm still so young (sobbing) ...

Nurses: Actually, like you, it is normal to be scared and panic about chemotherapy. Now the flood of instigating rumors and pseudo -science on the Internet, coupled with chemotherapy drugs will kill 3,000 enemies and damage 800, leading to a large and side effects of toxicity, but it is one of the "three driving troops" for cancer treatment. At present, there are no other treatment to treat it. Replace. Listening to the doctor said that you are suffering from small cell lung cancer, which is very sensitive to chemotherapy and the effective rate of treatment is 80-90 %.

Patient: Really?

Nurse: Yes, the current common malignant tumor chemotherapy schemes are practiced in thousands of clinical studies, which is more profitable than disadvantages. There are individual differences in the treatment effect of everyone, and a good mentality is the key.

Patient: Thank you for your care and guidance! I will look at chemotherapy with a scientific attitude. I believe that doctors face difficulties strongly.

Nurse: Little sister, what do you feel after "talk"?

Patient: Ah? No injection?

Nurse: Talking for treatment!

Patient: Oh, talking about "talk" is wonderful, one chat to relieve depression, two chats improve resistance, and three chat treatment effects are good. Ha ha……

Obviously, the language, behavior and behavior of medical staff have a great impact on the psychological psychology of patients. At present, there is no special medicine for various cancer treatment. The phrase of the doctor may "have a good effect on your symptoms", making material treatment work in terms of biological and mental.

The above is the psychological effect of the drug. In simple terms, it is a psychological suggestion for the patient's trust in the drug, the prestige of the doctor, the experience during treatment, the evaluation, the external suggestion and the advertising effect of the drug. Impression can make people "disease", and it can also be "cured" by proper use.

Modern pharmaceuticals believe that there are two ways to play the role of drugs. The first is the well -known drug on the pharmacological effects of the human body to achieve the purpose of cure; the other is the psychological effect of the drug, which can promote the drug to achieve a better curative effect, but in fact, this has no direct connection with the drug itself. Clinically, we will see that tumor patients seek medical treatment everywhere. Faced with doctors who practice dozens of years and hold imported drugs, they feel that the "treatment effect" seems to be more up to a floor than a young doctor.

Bad mentality will reduce the physiological effect of the drug, why is this? Because the human body is a complex organic whole, the adverse mentality will affect the function of endocrine and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, thereby weakening the human body's ability to resist disease, and the effect of medicinal effects will naturally decrease. Active psychology can activate endocrine and potential immune functions. When the increase in immune organ secretion antibodies can play the best effect. The psychological effects of drugs on the human body are particularly obvious among some people, such as people who are nervous, weak will, psychological defects, and easily implied.

There is an image metaphor that the drug is "seed" and the psychology is "soil". Drugs are "seeds" for treating diseases, and psychological state is the "soil" that seeds depend on growth, flowering and results. The psychological effect of the drug further illustrates the psychological factors of the pathogenic, and also affirmed that the therapeutic effect of the disease depends on the quality of the psychological state.
