Abstract
A total of 62 patients with radical operation of esophageal carcinoma were divided into all-in-one nursing intervention group (research, n=32) and routine nursing group (control, n=30). With regards to postoperative flatus time, removal of chest tube drainage time, postoperative hospital stay and hospital costs, the research group was lower than the control group (P<0.05). After 2 weeks, from the postoperative quality of life questionnaire with the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer, the scores of overall health of enteral nutrition group were higher than those of parenteral nutrition group while the symptom scores of fatigue, nausea & vomiting, insomnia, decreased appetite, constipation and economic difficulties were less than parenteral nutrition group (P<0.05). Early postoperative enteral nutrition can improve the quality of life in patients with esophageal cancer. Key words: Esophageal neoplasms; Quality of life
