Abstract: Objective: To explore the intervention effect of targeted nursing in radiotherapy of liver cancer patients.
Methods: From October 2017 to October 2019, 208 patients with liver cancer undergoing radiotherapy in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into control group (106 cases) and experimental group (102 cases). The two groups were given targeted nursing and routine nursing respectively. Baseline data were compared between the two groups, as well as visual analog pain scores, anxiety and depression scores, quality of life scores, complication rate, compliance, and satisfaction with care.
Results: There was no significant difference in visual analog pain scores, anxiety and depression scores, and quality of life scores between the two groups before the targeted intervention (all P> 0.05). After 3 months of care, the visual analog pain, anxiety, depression and quality of life were higher than the control group (all P<0.05); the complication rate was lower than the control group (9.8% vs 30.2%, P<0.05), and the compliance was better than the control group (96.07% vs 84.91%, P<0.05); the nursing satisfaction was higher than the control group (all P<0.05).
Conclusion: Targeted nursing can reduce the complications of patients with liver cancer radiotherapy, improve the overall satisfaction of patients.
