Abstract
Objective To investigate and evaluate the clinical effect of continued nursing on liver cancer patients undergone transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).Methods A total of 58 patients were selected and randomly divided into control group and experimental group with 29 patients in each group.Patients in the control group were given routine nursing,and patients in experimental group were given continued nursing based on routine nursing.The patients' quality of life using the SF-36 and patients satisfaction with nursing were evaluated and compared between the two groups before and after nursing intervention.Results The scores in all factors of life quality of patients were no statistically significant difference between the two groups before nursing intervention (P ＞ 0.05).In the experimental group,the scores of physical function,rolephysical,body pain,vitality and role-emotionai in all factors of life quality of patients were (52.5 ± 17.5),(52.9 ± 16.2),(53.0 ± 17.3),(56.1 ± 15.7) and (31.9 ± 15.2) after nursing intervention,respectively,the difference was statistically significant compared with before nursing intervention (t =4.099,4.803,2.688,2.849,2.724,respectively; P ＜ 0.01).While there were no statistically significant difference in the control group before and after nursing intervention on the scores in all factors of life quality.After nursing intervention,the scores of physical function in the control group was (70.8 ± 12.3),and the difference in the scores of physical function was statistically significant compared with the control groups (t =4.607,P ＜ 0.01).After nursing intervention,the score of patients satisfaction with nursing in the experimental group was (34.13 ± 5.25),which was higher than (26.51 ±4.86) in control group the difference was statistically significant (t =5.181,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Continued nursing can help to improve patients' quality of life and patients satisfaction with nursing after TACE.
