ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: To assess the impact of Snyder’s hope theory-guided nursing care combined with continuity of care on postoperative individuals with glioma undergoing chemotherapy.
SAMPLE & SETTING: 112 patients with glioma receiving postoperative chemotherapy were randomly assigned to control and observation groups.
METHODS & VARIABLES: The control group received routine nursing whereas the observation group received additional care based on Snyder’s hope theory, combined with continuous nursing. Negative emotions, self-care agency, cancer-related fatigue, hope levels, quality of life, adverse reactions, and nursing satisfaction were compared between the groups.
RESULTS: The observation group showed significantly lower anxiety and depression (p < 0.05) and higher self-care advocacy, hope levels, and quality of life than the control group (p < 0.05). Fatigue and the incidence of adverse reactions were significantly lower in the observation group (p < 0.05). Nursing satisfaction in the observation group was significantly higher.
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Snyder’s hope theory-guided nursing care with continuity of care improves psychological well-being, self-care agency, and quality of life, and reduces fatigue and side effects among individuals with glioma undergoing chemotherapy.
