Application effects of comprehensive nursing intervention on patients with radiation and chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer

Objective To investigate the effects of comprehensive nursing intervention on patients with radiation and chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer. Methods We chose 160 patients with non-small cell lung cancer from our hospital between January, 2013 and June, 2014, and randomly divided them into observation group and control group with each group 80 cases. Patients of control group were given routine nursing care, while patients of observation group were given targeted nursing intervention based on routine nursing care. Complications, quality of life and satisfaction with care were compared between the two groups. Results Compared with the treatment before, the appetite score and fatigue score of the control group increased significantly (P < 0. 001), the general health score, cognitive function score, role function score, physical function scores of the control group were significantly lower (P < 0. 001). The appetite score and fatigue score of the observation group also increased significantly (P < 0. 001). The overall health score, cognitive function score, role function score, physical function scores of the observation group were significantly lower (P < 0. 001). Compared with the observation group, the overall health score, cognitive function score, role function score, physical function scores after nursing of the control group were significantly lower than the observation group (P < 0. 001). The appetite scores and fatigue scores after nursing were higher (P < 0. 001). Compared with the control group, the incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly lower, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0. 009), and the nursing satisfaction was significantly higher, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0. 028). Conclusion Implementing nursing intervention on the basis of conventional nursing can reduce complications of patients with radiation and chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer and improve their quality of life and nursing satisfaction, which is worth clinical promotion.
