Core Tip

Core Tip: Systemic holistic care was reported as a comprehensive approach, with a focus on their physical and mental health. This approach not only aids in disease treatment and physical recovery to a certain extent but also effectively enhances patient psychological well-being, social support, and overall quality of life. Consequently, this study employed a randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects of systemic holistic care on the overall condition of postoperative patients with colon cancer.
