Core Tip
Core Tip: This study investigates the effect of the Internet+ 5A nursing model on patients with middle- and late-stage digestive tract tumors pain. A prospective study of 100 patients demonstrated that the intervention group, compared to the control group receiving routine care, yielded superior outcomes. Specifically, it significantly reduced pain intensity (Numerical Rating Scale), and enhanced overall quality of life (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30). The model also boosted self-management efficacy and improved various patient-reported outcomes. The Internet+ 5A nursing model is concluded to be effective and merits clinical application.
