Analysis of the Effect of the Omaha-System-Based Continuous Nursing on Quality of Life of Patients with Oral Cancer

Abstract

Objective: To explore the advantages of continuous nursing based on the Omaha system for patients with oral cancer surgery. Methods: 120 cases patients who were treated surgically for oral cancer from January 2020 to June 2022 were selected for this study; the ages of patients ranged from 26­–78 years old. The patients were divided into a control group (60 patients) who would undergo routine nursing and an observation group who would undergo continuous nursing based on the Omaha. Statistical analysis was carried out on the clinical data. Results: After nursing, the quality of life, degree of understanding towards the disease, total satisfaction, and total rate of effectiveness of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group, and the negative emotion scores were significantly lower in the observation group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Continuous nursing based on the Omaha system can not only improve the quality of life of oral cancer patients after surgery, but also alleviate the negative emotions of patients, expand the degree of understanding towards the disease, and improve their overall quality of life. Besides, high rates of nursing satisfaction and total effectiveness can promote the postoperative recovery of patients.
