Continuity of Care plus Whole Process Psychological Intervention for Lung Cancer Patients undergoing Chemotherapy

Objective. To explore the efficiency of continuity of care plus whole process psychological intervention for lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Methods. A total of 130 patients who have lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy admitted to our hospital from 2019 to 2021 were recruited and assigned via different intervention methods (1 : 1) to receive either continuity of care plus whole process psychological intervention (observation group) or routine nursing (control group). Outcome measures included psychological state, treatment compliance, quality of life, and nursing satisfaction. Results. Continuity of care plus whole process psychological intervention was associated with significantly lower Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) scores versus routine care. The patients given combined nursing showed higher self-esteem scores versus those given routine care. Continuity of care plus whole process psychological intervention also resulted in significantly lower cancer-related fatigue scores and higher treatment compliance versus routine care. Patients given continuity of care plus whole process psychological intervention had a better quality of life and higher nursing satisfaction versus those given routine care ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusions. Continuity of care plus whole process psychological intervention can effectively mitigate the negative emotions of lung cancer patients, alleviate cancer-related fatigue, improve treatment compliance, and boost the life quality of patients.
