Effects of patient-participating nursing mode in day-care chemotherapy patients

Abstract

Objective To explore the effects of patient-participating nursing mode in improving the nursing quality for chemotherapy patients in day-care ward. Methods A total of 80 cases of chemotherapy patients in the Day-care Ward of Ningbo First Hospital from April to September 2017 were selected and randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 40 patients in each group. Routine nursing care was applied in the control group. On the basis of routine nursing, patient-participating nursing mode was applied in the experimental group. The safety of intravenous chemotherapy (venous exudation and phlebitis) , patient satisfaction and quality of life of the two groups were observed and compared. Results The incidences of phlebitis, venous exudation and patient satisfaction of the control group were 22.5%, 5.0% and 80.0% respectively. Those of the observation group were 15.0%, 0% and 97.5% respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (P 0.05) . Conclusions Patient-participating nursing mode is conducive to improve the safety and effectiveness of intravenous chemotherapy, reduce the adverse reactions of chemotherapy, and improve patient satisfaction and quality of life to some extent.
