In recent years, with the development of medical science and technology, the life of malignant tumor patients is being extended through comprehensive treatment. Some of the previously untreatable advanced tumors can still survive for a longer period of time after treatment, and some of them can even work and live like normal people. People have realized that malignant tumor is not an incurable disease, and through comprehensive treatment can prolong the survival period and improve the quality of life. However, malignant tumor is after all a difficult disease, and patients often have psychological pressure. Clinical research proves that the role of psychological factors in the process of disease and treatment cannot be ignored, especially the psychological condition of malignant tumor patients will directly affect their efficacy and prognosis. Therefore, psychological support and treatment are getting more and more attention and importance. The psychological condition of malignant tumor patients Malignant tumor is a serious threat to human health and life, which brings endless fears and worries to patients, their families, relatives and friends. The latest information shows that one third of malignant tumors can be cured, and one third of malignant tumor patients can prolong their lives and improve their quality of life through standardized comprehensive treatment. It can prolong the life and improve the quality of life, and one third of the patients with malignant tumor have a short survival period and poor prognosis. Therefore, it is necessary for people, even some medical workers, to correctly understand the occurrence, development, treatment and regression of malignant tumors and avoid talking about cancer. The psychological changes of malignant tumor patients are different in different stages, and their psychological changes are not only closely related to the occurrence and development of tumor, but also have obvious correlation with the survival quality and survival period of malignant tumor patients. The psychological state of malignant tumor patients is mostly determined by their understanding of malignant tumor. Most tumor patients are afraid of malignant tumor, afraid of pain, afraid of death, afraid of disability. Most patients will have a process of psychological change after malignant tumor, initially denying, doubting, going to different hospitals for repeated examinations in an attempt to overturn the diagnosis, then accepting helplessly, followed by tension, depression, fear, resentment and sadness. Due to the different social, cultural, economic and educational factors of the patients, it makes the attitude of malignant tumor patients towards tumor awareness also different. Psychological treatment of malignant tumor patients Psychological factors play an important role in the occurrence, development and regression of malignant tumor. It is stated in ancient Chinese medical texts that people’s happiness, anger, sadness and happiness, the seven emotions and six desires are always in activity and change, just as “depressed anger hurts liver, thought hurts spleen, depression of spleen, the wish is not close, spleen qi is obstructed, liver qi is transverse, resulting in meridian stasis and accumulation of lumps.” Another example is “anger, stagnation of qi, and phlegm production from qi knots, phlegm and phlegm knots, obstructing the esophagus and developing over time.” In clinical practice, we often see patients with liver cancer, breast cancer, etc. have a difficult life and unfortunate experiences. After a long period of depression, suppression of sadness and other psychological factors are a kind of promoter for the occurrence of diseases, and having good psychological quality and adjusting the balance within the mind is one of the basic conditions to prevent the occurrence of diseases. People’s emotional and psychological state, affect the disease regression. If a person is in a long-term isolated, impatient and irritable, sad and other bad mental state, the immunity of the body will be reduced, and once there are cancer-causing factors, it will cause the occurrence of malignant tumors. Malignant tumor will in turn affect people’s psychology and spirit, forming a vicious circle. According to some statistics, 69% of the patients with esophageal cancer are impatient, irritable and depressed, and 75% of the patients who had major misfortune or strong stimulation before suffering from malignant tumor. The change of seven emotions can cause the dysfunction of advanced neural activities, endocrine and immune functions, which can lead to the decrease of the ability to prevent malignant tumor and the rapid deterioration of the disease. (1) Help patients to adjust their psychological balance According to Chinese medicine, all diseases are born from qi. The qi referred to here includes the atmosphere in nature and various qi in the human body. “First of all, we should understand the various psychological changes of patients, actively guide them to get out of the psychological shadow, reduce the bitter mood and help them adjust their psychological balance. Although malignant tumor is difficult to treat, but it is not the same as no treatment. When most patients are diagnosed, they are already in the middle and late stage, which creates great pressure on patients and makes them think that having malignant tumor is equal to a death sentence, and patients have fear psychology, family, career, children and a series of other problems, which makes patients have their complicated mood, causing mental depression and further aggravation of the disease. Doctors should be compassionate, guide patients from many aspects, infect patients with their full emotions, influence their inner activities with words and actions, make them feel the warmth of family and society as well as the beauty of life, change their misconceptions about malignant tumors from their minds, summon up the courage to fight against diseases, transform negative psychology into positive psychological state, achieve and maintain psychological balance, so as to maintain the normal functions of individual organ systems and enhance the body’s ability to cope with diseases. In order to maintain the normal function of organs and systems, enhance the stress capacity of the body and improve immunity. This is what Chinese medicine says: “If yin is calm and yang is secret, the spirit can be cured”. （Most of the malignant tumor patients are eager to understand their own condition to determine how long their life journey has to last and whether they can bear the blow from various aspects. At this time, medical personnel should help patients to understand the disease correctly, realize the value of their own life, realize the contribution of their existence to the society, and bring happiness to their families and relatives and friends, realize that new drugs are constantly developed, treatment plans are constantly improved and perfected, and malignant tumors can be cured or life can be prolonged through comprehensive treatment. We will help them reduce the pain and discomfort brought by the treatment, and actively cooperate with the treatment, so as to choose the correct diagnosis and treatment path to overcome malignant tumor. Language therapy After the diagnosis of malignant tumor, whether to inform the patient of the truth or not should be decided according to the patient’s age, character, education level, psychological quality and so on. For early stage cancer patients who can have good curative effect after treatment, they can be informed of the details. For patients with advanced tumors, it is necessary to consider their mental state and whether they can bear the blow, and choose an appropriate time to inform in a way that is acceptable to the patient. The extent of concealing the disease from malignant tumor patients needs to be determined on a case-by-case basis while analyzing the pros and cons. In fact, most patients can gradually accept the fact of having malignant tumor after some mental preparation or after a period of psychological adjustment, and their desire to live makes them actively cooperate with treatment and recovery. For patients with cheerful disposition, we can explain the condition and treatment method to them comprehensively and scientifically, and tell them the treatment plan and prognosis, so that they can cooperate with doctors in treatment. “The meaning is that words are not unclear and reason is not implausible. Language is a tool of psychotherapy, as a doctor should be good at using language tools to relieve the patient’s doubts, so that he or she is in a good psychological state, so as to enhance the confidence to overcome the disease and actively cooperate with the treatment. For patients who are introverted, they should take the initiative to talk with them and give examples to explain the relationship between mental factors and treatment, to relieve their worries and build up their confidence, which cannot be replaced by medication. Explain carefully the necessity of various treatments and possible side effects, and make the patient feel that the doctor can be trusted, the diagnosis is correct, the treatment is effective, and it is possible to overcome the disease through language, expression, behavior, and suggestion. This can reduce the patient’s anxiety and fear, make the patient gain a sense of security and trust, so as to achieve psychological stability and play a positive role in the treatment. Conversely, if the psychological security needs are not met, patients feel insecure about their lives, causing a psychological crisis, which is extremely detrimental to treatment. Tumor patients need not only a clean, comfortable, airy and sunny ward environment, but also a harmonious, warm and loving family atmosphere, and more importantly, a social environment that respects and understands malignant tumor patients. Survival is the strongest requirement of malignant tumor patients. They hope that medical workers have excellent medical skills and are dedicated to their duties, and that they can get correct treatment to ensure life safety. Therefore, medical and nursing workers should treat people warmly and steadily, work responsibly, and make patients in a relaxed and confident atmosphere with good image, and take the initiative to introduce general knowledge and successful cases about malignant tumor to patients, so as to correct the social prejudice that once suffering from malignant tumor, it is equivalent to incurable disease. We will try our best to meet the reasonable requirements of patients, so that they can get psychological balance and actively cooperate with the treatment. In conclusion, while comprehensive treatment of malignant tumor, we cannot just emphasize the efficacy standard and ignore the psychological factors of patients. As medical and nursing workers, they should understand the psychological condition of patients and actively give psychological support therapy, which can improve the quality of survival and prolong the survival period with other treatments, and will bring benefits to patients with malignant tumor.
