Abstract
To investigate the efficacy of individualized symptom management based on patients' self-reports during interventional therapy (IT) for liver cancer. Patients with liver cancer who recieved IT from April to August 2019 were assigned to either the intervention (n=70) or control group (n=70). The control group received routine nursing care and the intervention group received a nursing management program. The severity of specific symptoms, as measured by the Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS), and satisfaction with nursing care, were analyzed. Compared to the control group, patients given individualized management experienced significantly less severe pain, nausea, anxiety, and fatigue (p < .05). The scores for KPS and satisfaction with care were both significantly improved in the intervention group than in the control group (p < .05). This high-quality nursing management program predicated on patients' self-reports is worthy of clinical application and popular adoption.
