Abstract

Objective The study aimed to analyze the effect of hospital-community-family (HCH) nutrition management combined with early exercise nursing on nutrition status and postoperative rehabilitation of patients after gastric cancer surgery. Methods A total of 80 patients with gastric cancer admitted from January 2019 to June 2021 were selected and divided by the odd-even grouping method into two groups, i.e., 40 cases in the control group adopting routine nursing combined with early exercise nursing and 40 cases in the study group adopting HCH nutrition management; the nutrition status and postoperative rehabilitation of the two groups were compared. Results The times of feeding, bowel sound, anal exhaust, and defecation in the study group after surgery were shorter than those in the control group, with a difference of statistical significance (P < 0.05). 3 months after discharge, the scores of Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SAG) in the study group were lower than those in the control group, while the body mass index (BMI), prealbumin, albumin, hemoglobin, and the score of the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) were higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Hospital-community-family nutrition management combined with early exercise nursing can improve the postoperative nutrition status of patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery and advance the time of postoperative exhaust and defecation.
