Abstract
BACKGROUND

Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is the preferred intravenous route for chemotherapy in patients with cancer, but its complications, especially deep vein thrombosis (DVT), are becoming increasingly prevalent. Medical staff proficient in intubation and maintenance techniques can reduce complications. The multivariate integration teaching model applies the integration of “teaching learning application” to medical training, which helps shift the prevention of complications from “passive management of complications” to “active construction of risk immunity”, thereby ensuring foundational competency for PICC in patients with cancer.

AIM

To investigate the efficacy of the multivariate integration teaching model in patients with gastric cancer and concurrent DVT after PICC intubation and analyze its effect on patients’ quality of life index (QLI) and satisfaction.

METHODS

A retrospective analysis of medical records of 100 patients with gastric cancer and PICC treated at Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital from May 2019 to November 2020 was conducted. According to the different treatment methods and teaching modes received by medical staff, they were divided into a control group and an experimental group, with 50 cases in each group. The routine clinical teaching model and the multivariate integration teaching model were administered to the medical staff for the control group and the experimental group, respectively, to compare the incidence rates of DVT and other adverse reactions, QLI scores, Karnofsky Performance Scale scores, Mental Status Scale in Non-Psychiatric Settings scores, patient satisfaction, medical staff’s test marks, and satisfaction evaluation of the teaching model.

RESULTS

Compared with the control group, the experimental group exhibited significantly lower incidence rates of DVT and other adverse reactions and MSSNS scores but significantly higher QLI scores, KPS scores, patient satisfaction, medical staff’s test marks, and their satisfaction evaluations of the teaching model (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

In a single-center practice, performing the multivariate integration teaching model for medical staff may effectively improve the patients’ QLI and satisfaction and may have certain application value in preventing DVT in patients with gastric cancer and PICC.

Core Tip: The aim of this study is to explore the preventive effect of using a multiple integral teaching model on deep vein thrombosis in cancer patients after peripherally inserted central catheter catheterization, and analyze its impact on patients’ quality of life and satisfaction. Compared with the control group using conventional clinical teaching mode, the experimental group using multivariate integration teaching model training for medical staff can effectively improve patients’ quality of life index and satisfaction, and has certain application value in preventing deep vein thrombosis in cancer peripherally inserted central catheter patients.
