Abstract
- <bold>Objectives: </bold>In this study, Problem Management Plus (PM+) was used for patients with multiple myeloma (MM), to develop a care model of psychology and quality of life.<bold>Methods: </bold>Forty cases received psychological management (PM+ group), and 40 cases underwent investigation without management (non-PM+ group). Patients were assessed using PSYCHLOPS, WHO DAS 2.0, and HADS (see Supplementary File 1).<bold>Results: </bold>The results showed that the PM+ group showed reductions in Psychological Outcome Profile scores (6.3 ± 2.9) following program completion (preprogram scores: 16.0 ± 1.9, P < .05). The non-PM+ group showed differences between preprogram (16.7 ± 1.8) and postprogram scores (14.8 ± 2.6, P < .05). The effect size of the PM+ group exceeded that of the non-PM+ group (5.1 to 1.0). In the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the PM+ group showed reductions in anxiety (6.4 ± 1.8) and depression (5.4 ± 0.7) (preprogram scores: 14.7 ± 4.3, P < .05 and 10.9 ± 2.6, P < .05, respectively). In the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, scores for mobility, self-care, getting along, life activities, and participation decreased in the PM+ group following program completion (all P's < .05) but did not decrease in the non-PM+ group (all P > .05).<bold>Conclusion: </bold>The PM+ strategy could help patients to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression and strengthen social support, to aid in the management of problems and improve mental disorders.<bold>Impact Statement: </bold>MM patients often experienced mental disorders and wished to participate in psychosocial interventions; the PM+ strategies should be as a wide to help patients manage their problems and alleviate the symptoms of anxiety and depression.
