Application of early warning model of chemotherapy complications in nursing care of patients with non-small cell lung cancer during chemotherapy

Objective To explore the application effect of early warning model of chemotherapy complications in nursing care of non-small cell lung cancer during chemotherapy. Methods By using convenient sampling method, 106 patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated by chemotherapy in the Thoracic Surgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to February 2019 were selected as the study objects. According to the time of admission, they were divided into the control group (n=52) and the observation group (n=54) . The control group was given routine nursing care during chemotherapy, while the observation group was given nursing care through early warning model of chemotherapy complications during chemotherapy. Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) , Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30 (EORTCQLQ-C30) were used to compare the intervention effect of the two groups, and the incidence of complications during chemotherapy was counted. Results The total incidence of complications was 26.92% (14/52) in the observation group and 46.15% (24/52) in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.147, P<0.05) . Three months after the intervention, HAMA (9.87±4.25) and HAMD (15.54±3.58) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group; the differences were statistically significant (t=4.738, 8.296; P<0.05) . The functional score, symptom score, overall quality of life score and single measurement item score of the observation group were higher than those of the control group with statistical differences (P<0.05) . Conclusions During chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer, nursing through the early warning model of chemotherapy complications can reduce the incidence of chemotherapy complications, alleviate the negative emotions of patients, and improve the quality of life, which is worthy of clinical application.
