Abstract

Background: The constructing PERMA model in psychological intervention was applied to patients with chronic cancer pain to provide data reference for reducing pain, fear of cancer recurrence, and improving the level of psychological capital. Aim: To explore the clinical effects of constructing PERMA model in psychological intervention for patients with chronic cancer pain. Methods: A total of 98 patients with chronic cancer pain admitted to our hospital from March 2021 to March 2023 were randomly divided into two groups, 49 cases in each group. The control group received routine intervention, while the research group constructed PERMA model based on the routine intervention for psychological intervention. The pain severity, fear of cancer recurrence, psychological capital and quality of life before and after intervention were compared between the two groups. Results: After two months of intervention, the pain in the research group was milder than that in the control group (p < 0.05). The scores and total scores of all dimensions of fear of cancer recurrence in the research group were lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05). The scores and total scores of each dimension of psychological capital in the research group were higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05). The scores of all dimensions of quality of life in the research group were higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The PERMA model constructed in psychological interventions for patients with chronic cancer pain can assist analgesic medications to reduce pain and alleviate the fear of cancer recurrence, increase the level of psychological capital, and thus improve quality of life.
