Lung cancer is a clinical disease with multiple malignant tumors. Surgery and chemotherapy are important in the clinical treatment of lung cancer.
Integrated nursing care, which is based on the existing concept of clinical nursing and strengthens the significance of clinical nursing activities, is also an important model of clinical intervention.
Evaluate the application of the integrated nursing care model through changes in negative emotion and other indices.
A total of 92 patients with lung cancer were selected and divided into the study group and the control group; there were 46 patients in each group. The control group received routine nursing, and the study group received integrated medical care in addition to the care received by the control group. Negative emotions before and after the intervention, the self-management ability score after the intervention, family care burden after the intervention and nursing satisfaction after the intervention were measured in the two groups.
After the intervention, the self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale scores in the study group were lower than those in the control group; the scores for health knowledge, self-concept, self-responsibility and self-care skills in the study group were higher than those in the control group; the scores for individual burden and responsibility burden in the study group were lower than those before the intervention; and nursing satisfaction in the study group was higher than that in the control group.
An integrated nursing care approach for lung cancer patients can effectively relieve the patient’s negative feelings, improve their self-management ability, and help to reduce the burden of family care and improve patient satisfaction with nursing activities.
Nursing work is inseparable from clinical diagnosis and treatment.
