Abstract
BACKGROUND

Lung cancer is a clinical disease with multiple malignant tumors. Currently, it is difficult for patients to benefit from routine clinical nursing due to the lack of a pertinent and systematic approach.

AIM

To investigate the effect of integrated nursing care on the negative emotions and satisfaction of lung cancer patients.

METHODS

From January 2018 to December 2019, 92 patients with lung cancer were selected and divided into the study group and the control group; there were 46 patients in each group. The control group received routine nursing, and the study group received integrated medical care in addition to the care received by the control group. Negative emotions before and after the intervention, the self-management ability score after the intervention, family care burden after the intervention and nursing satisfaction after the intervention were measured in the two groups.

RESULTS

After the intervention, the self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale scores in the study group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05); the scores for health knowledge, self-concept, self-responsibility and self-care skills in the study group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05); the scores for individual burden and responsibility burden in the study group were lower than those before the intervention (P < 0.05); and the nursing satisfaction in the study group (93.48%) was higher than that in the control group (78.26%, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

An integrated nursing care approach for lung cancer patients can effectively relieve the patient’s negative feelings, improve their self-management ability, help to reduce the burden of family care and improve patient satisfaction with nursing activities.

Core Tip: In recent years, with improvements in living standards and the worsening of environmental pollution, the incidence of lung cancer has continuously increased. Currently, it is difficult for lung cancer patients to benefit from routine clinical nursing due to the lack of a pertinent and systematic approach. Integrated nursing care, which is based on the existing concept of clinical nursing and strengthens the significance of clinical nursing activities, is also an essential model of clinical intervention. The integrated nursing care group is composed of therapists, doctors and nurses who carry out a series of nursing activities in an attempt to improve the quality of nursing care. In this study, we evaluated the application of an integrated nursing care model through changes in negative emotion and other indices.
