Results The mean time of first ambulation was(30.82±13.83)h in 108 patients, and the average distance was(13.14±14.68)meters. 51 cases completed the early ambulation and accounted for 47.2%. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that postoperative pain and postoperative fatigue could greatly affect early ambulation of patients following postoperative gastric cancer(P<0.05). Conclusions Postoperative pain intervention and postoperative fatigue management benefits to the early ambulation for patients following postoperative gastric cancer.
