ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

The occurrence of postoperative complications in patients with colorectal cancer stomy can affect patient emotions and self-efficacy. Therefore, attention should be given to the improvement of nursing methods on postoperative complications in patients with colorectal cancer stomy. The extensive application of various nursing methods and traditional routine nursing in patients with colorectal cancer stomostomy is currently being studied. Exploring new nursing methods that can more effectively improve the postoperative recovery of patients with colorectal cancer stomostomy will be beneficial.

Research motivation

The purpose of this study was to explore more effective nursing methods to improve patient quality of life and self-efficacy in postoperative colorectal cancer patients. The significance of this study was to affirm the effectiveness of new nursing methods for patients with colorectal cancer ostomy, encourage clinical nursing teams to continue to introduce more effective and humanized nursing methods for patients with colorectal cancer ostomy and promote the improvement and progress of clinical nursing work.

Research objectives

This study compared the effects of three nursing methods and observed the advantages of internet multiple linkage mode-based extended care combined with in-hospital comfort care compared with internet multiple linkage mode-based extended care and conventional nursing.

Research methods

The clinical data of patients were analyzed retrospectively and grouped according to different nursing methods. Paired t test and χ2 test were used to analyze the general data, complication rate, self-efficacy, anxiety and depression, cancer-related fatigue, quality of life and other clinical data of the three groups of patients.

Research results

The results of this study showed that the internet multiple linkage mode-based extended care combined with in-hospital comfort care had a good nursing effect and significantly improved the occurrence of complications, self-efficacy, anxiety and depression, cancer-related fatigue and quality of life, providing a new nursing method for postoperative nursing of colorectal cancer.

Research conclusions

This study confirmed that the internet multiple linkage mode-based extended care combined with in-hospital comfort care has a better effect on patients.

Research perspectives

In the future, a multi-center study should be undertaken to expand the sample size to ensure the accuracy of this study.
