Abstract

Objective To investigate the influence of systematic nursing intervention on the quality of life of patients with radical cystectomy and bricker operation.Methods 67 patients with radical cystectomy and bricker operation were randomly divided into control group ( n = 33) and observation group ( n = 34).Control group was routinely cared, while the observation group was cared with systematic nursing intervention by the nurse in charge of work.Then all the patients were surveyed with the core questionnaire of quality of life of cancer patients (QLQ-C30) in 6 months after the operation.Results The scores of global health status, physical function, role function,emotional function,cognitive function and social function of the observation group (64.8 ± 8.7,80.1 ±9.2,67.5 ± 10.1,82.1 ± 11.5,84.6 ± 14.2,66.4 ± 12.5 ) were higher than those of the control group ( 53.3 ±9.4,68.3 ± 8.8,56.5 ± 10.3,68.3 ± 12.2,67.1 ± 10.5,55.3 ± 12.3 ), respectively.The scores of fatigue, nausea and vomiting, insomnia, and appetite loss of the observation group (34.6 ± 8.9,19.4 ± 6.9,27.7 ± 7.6,25.7± 8.4) were lower than those of the control group (44.4 ± 10.3,30.5 ± 7.6,39.8 ± 7.8,34.8 ± 10.1 ), respectively.And the difference was significant (P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion The systematic intervention can enhance patients' psychological, physical, and social adaptability, and improve patients' self-care skills and quality of life.
