RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the self-defect sensation and its influencing factors in patients scheduled for photodynamic therapy for port wine stains.Methods:A total of 183 patients scheduled for photodynamic therapy for port wine stains in our hospital were selected and investigated by online questionnaire. The data of the respondents were collected by means of online filling in the questionnaire star using the General Data Survey Scale and the Defect Perception Scale (FIS) at admission.Results:The total score of self-defect in 183 patients with bright red nevus treated by photodynamic therapy was higher than that of the domestic norm. Age ( t=4.19), place of residence ( F=14.90), co-resident ( F=3.21), education level ( F=4.39), marital status ( F=2.47), income level ( F=9.51) and occupation ( F=5.82) had significantly related with the level of self-deficiency of patients ( P<0.05). The results of multiple linear regression analysis indicated that residence and income level were the main factors affecting patients′ sense of self-deficiency ( F=4.96, P<0.05). Conclusions:The overall self-defect sense of 183 patients with port wine stains treated with photodynamic therapy in this survey is more serious, their own comprehensive conditions and family structure will affect the self-defect sense of patients with port wine stains. We should pay special attention to the mental health of patients from municipal cities and low-income levels, timely carry out clinical nursing education and psychological guidance, jointly improve the compliance and cooperation of patients with treatment, and promote the rapid recovery of patients.
