近年来，癌症治疗结束时的“敲响警钟”引起了医疗保健提供者的关注，了解这种经历如何影响患者的心理和情绪健康。在这种背景下，智利圣地亚哥的放射肿瘤中心进行了一项研究，以评估患者对治疗结束时“敲响警钟”的认知价值。进一步确定了这种经历对他们的心理健康是否有积极或消极的影响。 236 名患者被邀请参与一项印刷版匿名调查，该调查使用李克特量表来评估他们在经历了“按铃”之后对“按铃”的感知价值。放射治疗。在这项调查中，患者还被询问了有关其背景的问题，以检查与不同生活方式和社会经济地位相关的可能趋势。结果显示，93.6%的参与者将这种经历归类为“积极”或“非常积极”。对于关于体验的感知价值的 3 个问题，708 人中有 6 人（0.8%）做出了“负面”回答，没有“非常负面”的回答。放射治疗结束时的“按响铃声”可以被认为是一种心理安慰，对患者的心理健康产生积极影响。未观察到与社会经济地位相关的趋势。版权所有 © 2024 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。

In recent times, "ringing the bell" at the end of cancer treatment has attracted the attention of health care providers with regard to how this experience impacts patients' mental and emotional health. In this context, a study was conducted at a radiation oncology center in Santiago, Chile, to assess the perceived valorization of patients toward "ringing the bell" at the end of their treatment. It was further determined whether this experience had a positive or negative impact on their mental health.Two hundred thirty-six patients were invited to respond to a printed anonymous survey that used a Likert scale to evaluate their perceived valorization of "ringing the bell" after radiation therapy. In this survey, patients were also asked questions regarding their background to examine possible trends related to different lifestyles and socioeconomic status.The results showed that 93.6% of participants classified the experience as "positive" or "very positive." There were 6 "negative" responses out of 708 (0.8%) to the 3 questions regarding perceived valorization of the experience and no "very negative" responses."Ringing the bell" at the end of radiation therapy can be considered a psychological comfort that positively impacts patients' mental health. No trends related to socioeconomic status were observed.Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
