Pay attention to the psychological care of patients when treating nasopharyngeal carcinoma

If nasopharyngeal cancer patients have negative emotions and burdens, it will affect the enthusiasm and effect of treatment. Medical staff should pay attention to the psychological care of patients while treating their diseases.

1. If the patient does not understand the content of the disease, explanation and guidance should be adopted. Doctors should use easy-to-understand and simple principles to explain the nature of the disease or problem and the specific requirements, and avoid using complex and profound academic terms that patients cannot understand. The advice should also be concise and to the point. If necessary, write down the instructions for the patient to follow and let him refer to them repeatedly afterwards.

2. Encourage patients who are emotionally nervous. Encouragement is the way to treat patients who are pessimistic and lack confidence. Doctors should let patients fully understand the nature of the disease, so that patients can muster up courage and increase their confidence in coping with the disease.

3. Doctors should listen patiently to patients' nagging. Listening is also an art, which itself has a therapeutic effect. Doctors should not interrupt patients in a hurry when listening to them, but should guide them correctly. After patients talk freely, they feel that doctors are seriously concerned about their problems, which can make patients feel valued by others and thus have more confidence to cooperate with doctors in treating diseases. Sometimes doctors' listening is more effective than endless explanations and teachings.
