Abstract
Seventh gynecological inpatients were evaluated with YG, MAS and a questionnaire. The changes of their scores during the period of hospital treatement were analysed by means of multi-variate statistical analysis for the factors influencing their anxiety.
The result are summarized as follows: Gynecological inpatients have various anxieties and those anxieties change in the course of hospitalization and treatment. As for the factors which cause the anxieties, the degree of disease, the stress from long hospitalization, the anxiety about treatment and their age were identified, as well as those related to their personal trait.
Judging from the facts described above, we may conclude that:
1) For benign gynecological inpatients, not only "their physical condition" but also "their family life" must be considerated.
2) For malignant gynecological inpatients, long term evaluation and careful consideration are necessary because they tend to recognize "their malignant disease (cancer)" and are in anxiety.
3) For uterine cancer inpatients, it is necessary to alleviate "their physical pains" and also to assist with "their mental anxiety", especially in radio-therapy.
4) For ovarian cancer Patients, it is necessary to lighter "their physical pain" and also assist with "their mental anxiety", especially in chemotherapy.
