Research Progress of the Application of “Internet+” Nursing in Patients with Liver Cancer

Abstract

Objective: To explore the application effect of “Internet+” nursing in patients discharged from hospital after liver cancer operation. Methods: A total of 90 patients who underwent hepatocellular carcinoma resection in Shaanxi Provincial People’s Hospital from November 2019 to August 2020 were divided into an observation group (n = 45) and a control group (n = 45) randomly by drawing lots. The control group received routine discharge health guidance while the observation group underwent an “Internet+” nursing through hospital Internet information platforms, online consultation, and so on. Patients of both groups returned to the hospital one month after discharge and filled in the questionnaire. The incidence of adverse reactions, quality of life, and level of hope were compared between the two groups 1 month after discharge. Results: The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The quality of life and level of hope of patients in the observation group were significantly higher than those in control group and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: “Internet+” nursing service plays a positive role in improving the patients’ about their disease and their quality of life after discharge from hospital after liver cancer operation, which is worthy of popularization in clinical practice.
