Abstract
BACKGROUND

Esophageal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors. The three-dimensional quality structure model is a quality assessment theory that includes three dimensions: Structure, process, and results.

AIM

To investigate the effects of nursing interventions with three-dimensional quality assessment on the efficacy and disease management ability of patients undergoing esophageal cancer surgery.

METHODS

In this prospective study, the control group received routine nursing, and the intervention group additionally received a three-dimensional quality assessment intervention based on the above routine care. Self-efficacy and patient disease management abilities were evaluated using the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and Exercise of Self-Care Agency scale, respectively. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 17.0, was used for the data processing.

RESULTS

This study recruited 112 patients who were assigned to the control and experimental groups (n = 56 per group). Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in GSES scores between the two groups (P > 0.05). After the intervention, the GSES scores of both groups increased, with the experimental group showing higher values (P < 0.05). At the time of discharge and three months after discharge, the scores for positive attitudes, self-stress reduction, and total score of health promotion in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

The implementation of a three-dimensional quality structure model for postoperative patients with esophageal cancer can effectively improve their self-management ability and self-efficacy of postoperative patients.

Keywords: Esophageal cancer; Three-dimensional quality structure model; Self-efficacy; Disease management ability

Core Tip: Esophageal cancer diagnosis and surgery can lead to anxiety, fear, worry, despair, and other negative emotions. These negative emotions result in long-term negative coping, consequently reducing the patients’ physical function and quality of life. The three-dimensional quality structure nursing evaluation model can improve the postoperative self-efficacy and disease self-management ability of patients with esophageal cancer, enabling them to better deal with the stress caused by the disease and maintain a better psychological status and, ultimately, a higher quality of life.
