Role Of Humanized Nursing Care In Relieving Cancer Pain And Improving Quality Of Life Of Patients With Advanced Liver Cancer

Objective: To study the role of humanized nursing care in relieving pain in patients with advanced liver cancer and improve their quality of life. Methods: A total of 100 patients with advanced liver cancer were divided into two groups according to a random number table: the observation group (n=50) and the control group (n=50). The control group was given routine nursing interventions, and the observation group was given humanized nursing care, plus routine nursing. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and brief pain inventory (BPI) were used to compare the intensity of cancer pain between the two groups; the World Health Organization quality of life (WHOQOL) survey was used to assess the quality of life between the two groups; self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were used to evaluate the mental state of the two groups; Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) was used to measure sleep quality of the two groups; the median survival and half-year survival rate of the two groups were calculated and recorded. Results: VAS scores and BPI scores of the two groups after nursing were significantly lower than those before nursing (both P<0.001), and the observation group had significantly lower scores than the control group (P<0.01). SAS scores and SDS scores of the two groups after nursing were significantly lower than those before nursing (both P<0.001), and the observation group had significantly lower scores than the control group (P<0.01). WHOQOL scores of the two groups after nursing were significantly higher than those before nursing (both P<0.001), and the observation group had significantly higher scores than the control group (P<0.01). The scores of sleep quality, sleep duration, sleep disturbance, sleep latency, sleep efficiency, daytime dysfunction and use of sleep medication for the two groups after nursing were significantly lower than those before nursing (all P<0.001), and the observation group had significantly lower scores than the control group (P<0.01). The observation group had significantly longer median survival and higher half-year survival rate than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Humanized nursing care for patients with advanced liver cancer can alleviate the degree of cancer pain, relieve their negative mood, and improve their quality of life and sleep quality. It is worth being popularized in clinical practice.
