Abstract

Objective: To examine the efficacy of a complete nursing strategy during the perioperative phase for patients undergoing interventional treatment for hepatocellular cancer.

Methods: Sixty patients who were diagnosed with liver cancer and underwent interventional therapy in our hospital between February 2019 and December 2021 were recruited in this trial. All study subjects were numbered according to the time when the patients first came to our hospital, and were equally divided into a comprehensive group and a conventional group based on the odd and even number of the last number, with 30 cases in each group. Those in the conventional group received conventional nursing care, whereas patients in the comprehensive group received comprehensive nursing care. Before and after the nursing intervention, the quality of life, pain, and patient satisfaction in both groups were compared.

Results: The quality of survival scores, including physical, emotional, role, social, and cognitive function scores of patients in the comprehensive group, were significantly higher than those in the conventional group (P < 0.05); there was no statistically significant difference in numeric rating scales (NRS) scores between the two groups compared before treatment (P > 0.05). After treatment, the NRS scores of patients in the study group were significantly lower than those of patients in the control group (P < 0.05); before the intervention, the difference between the emotional state scores of patients in the two groups was not significant and not statistically significant (P > 0.05), while the emotional state of patients in both groups improved after the intervention, and the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores of patients in the comprehensive group were lower than those in the conventional group (P < 0.05); the total incidence of adverse reactions in the comprehensive group (10.00%) was significantly lower than that in the conventional group (46.67%) (P < 0.05); and the total satisfaction of patients in the comprehensive group (93.33%) was significantly higher than that of patients in the conventional group (73.33%) (P < 0.05).

Conclusion: The intervention of a comprehensive nursing approach in the perioperative period for patients with liver cancer is remarkable as it can relieve patients' psychological burden and pain, ensure a smooth operation, improve patients' postoperative quality of life, and also help to reduce the risk of postoperative adverse reactions, effectively enhancing patients' satisfaction, and thus deserves to be promoted in clinical practice.
