Effect of Network-Based Positive Psychological Nursing Model Combined With Elemene Injection on Negative Emotions, Immune Function and Quality of Life in Lung Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy in the Era of Big Data

Abstract

BackgroundWith the development of big data, big data interpenetrate in every person's life. Health care is no exception to this trend, especially in regard to nursing analytics. The data that is analyzed and leveraged in this field is gathered from a variety of sources, including electronic health records (EHRs), medical histories, provider notes and mobile applications, creating an accumulation of personalized health information around each individual.ObjectiveTo explore the effect of the network-based positive psychological nursing model combined with elemene injection on negative emotions, immune function and quality of life (QOL) in patients with lung cancer (LC) undergoing chemotherapy.MethodsThe clinical data of 90 LC patients who underwent chemotherapy in our hospital from December 2020 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were equally split into experimental group (EG) and control group (CG) according to the order of enrollment. The patients in CG received routine nursing intervention during chemotherapy, while those in EG received the network-based positive psychological nursing model combined with elemene injection to compare negative emotions, immune function and quality of life (QOL) between the two groups.ResultsCompared with CG, EG had notably higher immune function indexes (P < 0.001), lower serum VEGF and MMP-2 levels (P < 0.001), lower HAMA and HAMD scores (P < 0.05), and higher scores of PTGI, physiological function, psychological function, social function and physical function (P < 0.001).ConclusionThe network-based positive psychological nursing model combined with elemene injection is a reliable method to enhance the immune function and QOL of LC patients undergoing chemotherapy and alleviate their negative emotions, which has a high clinical application value.

Prevalence of inappropriateness of elemene injection for hospitalized cancer patients: a multicenter retrospective study

“…As mentioned above, lung cancer and liver cancer are approved indications of elemene injection. Numerous clinical studies have been carried out to assess the efficacy of elemene in treating lung cancer and liver cancer in combination with chemotherapy or radiotherapy (Jiang et al, 2017;Yao et al, 2019;Yang et al, 2022). The appropriateness of elemene use differed greatly among departments.…”

Application Value of Evidence-Based Care in Patients with Lung Cancer Chemotherapy

“…Routine nursing intervention for LC patients undergoing chemotherapy often neglects psychological support, comfort care, pain threshold management, etc., which is difficult to mobilize patients' confidence to overcome the disease, resulting in a treatment outcome far from satisfactory [ 9 ]. Evidence-based care (EBC) is an intervention model that continuously improves nursing guidance and adjusts the practice process based on credible and scientific research results and past clinical experience [ 10 ].…”
