There is a clinical phenomenon that when a patient is diagnosed with cancer, his family often conceals the patient's treatment method, which is the so-called "kind lie." The starting point of this lie is good. Its purpose is to keep the patient in a good mood, but it also brings some disadvantages. For example, during the outpatient clinic, the patient's family told the doctor: "Doctor, my father will come to see the doctor later, and you will tell him that it's okay."
The starting point of the family was kind-hearted. His father suffered from gastric cancer and planned to undergo surgery. As a result, after opening the abdominal cavity, the stomach was adhesions with the surrounding organs, and it was impossible to undergo radical surgery. The abdominal cavity was sutured without surgery. Just imagine, is it okay for the doctor to say that it is okay for this situation? The answer is no, because it will backfire. "Opening and closing" surgery is also a surgery, which will damage the patient's positive energy. The patient will gradually experience many discomfort symptoms, such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, etc., which will inevitably lead to poor mood, anxiety, and even failure to cooperate with the treatment. As for the family, they will definitely worry about the patient's condition and hope that the patient will receive treatment. If the patient does not cooperate, conflicts will inevitably arise.
Objectively speaking, during the process of tumor development, the pain caused by and the patient's lack of understanding of his own condition will affect the patient's cooperation and compliance with diagnosis and treatment work, which is not conducive to the development of treatment, and the patient's anxiety will also further develop the condition. Therefore, the families of patients should fully understand the tumor . From the perspective of respecting the patient, and taking into account the patient's psychological tolerance, uses appropriate methods to inform the patient's condition and guide it to help patients build confidence in defeating the disease . This will not only allow patients to have a deep understanding of their own condition, but may also effectively mobilize the patient's endogenous motivation, so that patients can cooperate with treatment more actively and proactively, which is conducive to the control of the condition.
Survey on post-traumatic growth of cancer patients found that after experiencing the traumatic event of cancer, most patients realize that life is fragile, while they will cherish the importance of health, cherish life more, and be stronger. In fact, many times, the doctor's family members do not inform the patient of the condition, and the patient can guess it. Many patients in the outpatient clinic know their condition, they are very cheerful and can face it correctly. Therefore, we do not need to deliberately conceal the patient's condition. We should consider the patient's actual situation. Facing the disease in a real way is more conducive to the patient's cooperation with treatment to achieve the best results.
