ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS

Research background

Lung cancer, a notoriously prevalent and often fatal illness, poses a significant threat to human health. With high mortality rates, this grueling disease leaves patients and their families reeling from its impact. Postoperative patients with cancer pain, specifically, require extensive psychological support during their treatment and recovery process.

Research motivation

The mental well-being of these patients is crucial, as the excruciating pain associated with cancer not only impacts their physical health but also their emotional state.

Research objectives

The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of implementing the narrative nursing approach on the outcomes of postoperative lung cancer patients admitted to the intensive care unit.

Research methods

Before the intervention, the control group was administered routine analgesia and psychological care, while the observation group implemented the five-step narrative care method in addition to routine care. The variables assessed included visual analogue scale scores, sleep patterns, anxiety and depression levels, and quality of life.

Research results

The observation group had lower pain, anxiety and depression scores after the narrative care intervention than the control group.

Research conclusions

The systematic narrative care approach is an effective intervention.

Research perspectives

For patients with lung cancer and cancer pain, through the system narrative nursing method intervention can help patients know and understand their disease, adjust mentality, establish the confidence to overcome the disease, actively accept and cooperate with treatment, relieve pain in patients with subjective consciousness, reduce bad mood, reduce anxiety, improve the quality of sleep and quality of life.
