Abstract
Objective To explore the application of professional whole-process case management during nursing in patients with triple-negative breast cancer. Methods This study recruited 60 patients with triple-negative breast cancer who were diagnosed and treated at Department of Breast Surgery in our hospital assessed for eligibility between June 2018 and June 2020, and we assigned them at a ratio of 1 : 1 via the random number table method to receive either general nursing (control group) or professional whole-process case management plus general nursing (observation group). We analyzed and evaluated the hospitalization, the indwelling time of drainage tube, complications, recovery, quality of life, posttraumatic growth, and nursing satisfaction between these two groups at registration, discharge, and the sixth month after surgery, respectively. Results Professional whole-process case management achieved a shorter duration of drainage tube placement and hospitalization and a lower incidence of postoperative complications versus general nursing (P < 0.05). Moreover, the observation group had got better recovery (P < 0.05) and a better quality of life at discharge and 6 months after surgery (P < 0.05). Professional whole-process case management obtained higher scores of posttraumatic growth and higher nursing satisfaction versus general nursing (P < 0.05). Conclusion Whole-process case management promotes the postoperative recovery of patients with triple-negative breast cancer and shortens the duration of drainage tube indwelling and hospitalization, which lowers the incidence of postoperative complications, improves their quality of life, and enhances nursing satisfaction.
Highlights
Breast cancer is the most common cancer compromising the quality of life and psychological health of women [1]
General Materials. is study consisted of 60 patients with triple-negative breast cancer who were diagnosed and treated at the Department of Breast Surgery in our hospital between June 2018 and June 2020, and we assigned them to an observation group (n 30) and a control group (n 30) by random number table. e protocol of this study was ethically approved by the Ethics Committee of Cangzhou Central Hospital. e baseline features of the two groups were similar (P > 0.05) (Table 1)
(1) We evaluated the quality of life of subjects at registration, discharge, and six months after surgery as per the Chinese version of functional assessment of cancer therapy-breast (FACT-B) that was composed of the functional assessment of cancer therapy (FACT) scale used for the assessment of the quality of life and the breast cancer scale (BCS)
Summary
To explore the application of professional whole-process case management during nursing in patients with triplenegative breast cancer. Is study recruited 60 patients with triple-negative breast cancer who were diagnosed and treated at Department of Breast Surgery in our hospital assessed for eligibility between June 2018 and June 2020, and we assigned them at a ratio of 1 : 1 via the random number table method to receive either general nursing (control group) or professional whole-process case management plus general nursing (observation group). We analyzed and evaluated the hospitalization, the indwelling time of drainage tube, complications, recovery, quality of life, posttraumatic growth, and nursing satisfaction between these two groups at registration, discharge, and the sixth month after surgery, respectively. Wholeprocess case management promotes the postoperative recovery of patients with triple-negative breast cancer and shortens the duration of drainage tube indwelling and hospitalization, which lowers the incidence of postoperative complications, improves their quality of life, and enhances nursing satisfaction
