Purpose: This study was to identify the effects of hope intervention on hope and depression of cancer patients staying at home.
Methods: The study design was a randomized control group design. The subjects consisted of forty cancer patients randomly selected who were registered at S-Gu Public Health Center. Hope intervention, which was composed of hope assessment, hope objective setting, positive self identity formation, therapeutic relationships, spiritual & transcendental process improvement, positive environmental formation and hope evaluation, was provided from November 20, 2006 to January 26, 2007.
Results: The 1-1 hypothesis, “The experimental group which received hope intervention will have a higher score of hope than the control group”, was supported(t=-3.253, p= .003). The 1-2 hypothesis, “The experimental group which received hope intervention will have a higher level of hope index than the control group”, was supported (t=-4.001, p= .000). Therefore the 1st hypothesis, “The experimental group which received hope intervention will have a higher level of hope than the control group” was supported. The 2nd hypothesis, “The experimental group which received hope intervention will have a lower level of depression than the control group”, was not supported (t=1.872, p= .070).
Conclusion: Hope intervention is an effective nursing intervention to enhance hope for patient with cancer.
