Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the information providing program of I¹³¹ treatment on the pre-treatment anxiety and immune response of patients with thyroid cancer.
Method: The used design was a nonequivalent control group design with pretest and post-test. Subjects of this study were 54 patients who had received a total thyroidectomy. They were given a information providing program with a brochure before 4 weeks of the hospitalization for I¹³¹ treatment, with problem solving phone counseling before 2 weeks of the hospitalization. Collected data were analyzed using the SPSS WIN program.
Result: Hypothesis one, “The anxiety score of an experimental group would be lower than the score of a control group” was supported(t = -2.12, p = .03). Hypothesis two, “The level of cortisol of an experimental group would be lower than the level of a control group” was supported(t = -3.19, p = .00). However, hypothesis three “The level of T, B and N-K cells of an experimental group would be higher than the level of a control group” was not supported.
Conclusion: The information providing program of I¹³¹ treatment effectively decreased the anxiety of patients with thyroid cancer.
