Abstract: Objective: To analyze the needs of health education guidance for patients with liver cancer after discharge.Methods: 97 patients with liver cancer were included in the questionnaire survey before discharge, including basic information, 8 health education contents and 8 health education guidance methods. The statistical analysis method was chi square test, P < 0.05, indicating that the difference was statistically significant.Results: The top three demands of live cancer patients health education guidance were nutrition guidance, drug consultation and nursing guidance, and the demand for psychological counseling was the least. The top three requirements for health education guidance are health education manual, rehabilitation hotline and follow-up guidance. Patients under 35 years old and 36~59 years old have a higher demand for online services.
