Abstract
Objective To explore the effects of diversified continuing nursing on recovery of patients with breast cancer after modified radical mastectomy. Methods A total of 90 patients with breast cancer after modified radical mastectomy were divided into observation group (45 cases) and control group (45 cases) according to random number table method. Patients in two groups received health guidance before leaving hospital, while those in observation group also received continuing nursing after leaving hospital. One month after leaving hospital, recovery of flaps and function of affected upper limb were evaluated. Results The flaps recovery of patients in observation group were better than those in control group with a significant difference (P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in horizontal abduction of shoulder joint, upward abduction of shoulder joint, dorsiflexion of middle finger, distance of seventh cervical vertebra between two groups (P<0.05). Conclusions Diversified continuing nursing can effectively reduce complications of breast cancer after modified radical mastectomy and promote function recovery of the upper limb of patients.
