Objective To explore the effect of permission, limited information, specific suggestion, intensive therapy (PLISSIT) intervention model on sexual function and psychological elasticity in male patients with colorectal cancer.
Methods A total of 100 male patients who underwent colostomy for colorectal cancer were selected as research objects. According to the principle of basic feature matching, they were divided into experimental group(n=50) and control group (n=50) according to basic feature matching principle. The control group received routine intervention, and the experimental group added PLISSIT mode intervention on the basis of the control group. Both groups were intervened for 8 weeks. The levels of sexual function and psychological elasticity of the two groups before and after the intervention were evaluated by International Erectile Function Questionnaire (IIEF-5), Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool(PEDT) and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC).
Results A total of 48 cases were included in the experimental group and 49 cases in the control group after exclusion of drop-out patients. Before intervention, there were no significant differences in IIEF-5 score, PEDT score, sexual function grade, score of each dimension of CD-RISC and total score of CD-RISC between the two groups (P>0.05). After intervention, the IIEF-5 score, PEDT score, the improvement of erectile function grade, the item score of the three dimensions of mental resilience (resilience, self-reliance and optimism) and total score of CD-RISC were better than those of the control group and pre-intervention (P < 0.05).
Conclusion PLISSIT intervention model can help male patients with stoma of colorectal cancer improve sexual function and psychological elasticity, and promote mental health.
