Effect of High-Quality Nursing Intervention on the Quality of Life and Psychological State of Tumor Patients Undergoing First Chemotherapy

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of high-quality nursing intervention on the quality of life (QOL) and psychological state of patients undergoing chemotherapy for the first time. A total of 100 malignant tumor patients admitted to Jiangyin Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine to receive chemotherapy for the first time from October 2018 to July 2020 were selected and randomized either to the control group or to the study group (50 cases in each group) via the random number table method. The control group received routine nursing, while the study group received high-quality nursing intervention. There was no striking difference in self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), Karnofsky score (KPS), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG), and QOL between the two groups before nursing intervention (all P > 0.05 ). After nursing intervention, the SAS, SDS, KPS, ECOG, and QOL in the study group were better than those in the control group (all P < 0.05 ). The adverse reaction scores of the patients in the study group were lower than those in the control group ( P < 0.05 ). High-quality nursing intervention can effectively reduce the psychological pressure of the first chemotherapy for patients with malignant tumor, ameliorate the psychological burden of patients, relieve patients’ anxiety and fear, thus improve the chemotherapy effect, and contribute to improve their QOL.

Effects of “Timing It Right” nursing on clinical outcome and psychological resilience for lung cancer patients undergoing radical thoracoscopic surgery

“…Quality of life is one of the important indicators for evaluating the treatment effect of tumor patients in current clinical practice [26]. The results of some studies have shown that the Am J Transl Res 2024;16(1):179-189 lower the level of social support received by lung cancer patients after radical thoracoscopic surgery in terms of their own health status, disease knowledge and disease management efficacy, the greater the negative impact on their quality of life [27][28][29].…”

Effect of high-quality nursing on neurological function psychological moods quality of life of elderly patients with stroke

“…Supporting this, Wu et al ( 22 ) have ascertained that HQN significantly ameliorates anxiety and depression in acute stroke patients undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures, not only enhancing examination completion rates but also reducing examination durations and augmenting patient satisfaction. Similarly, HQN interventions have proven efficacious in attenuating the psychological stress associated with initial chemotherapy sessions for oncology patients, thereby improving both psychological wellbeing and overall treatment efficacy ( 23 ). In a study conducted by Mei et al ( 24 ) the implementation of HQN post-lung cancer surgery not only markedly improved patients' psychological wellbeing but also increased patient compliance and satisfaction while reducing postoperative complications and recurrence rates, findings that align synergistically with the results of the current study.…”
