Brain glioma is a common type of aggressive disease that is related to a deterioration in mental health and quality of life. The complex condition raises high demand for the optimal treatment approaches and postoperative nursing strategies.
Comprehensive nursing care is cooperative nursing care that is provided by health professionals of different medical domains to fulfill a patient’s practicable physical, mental and psychosocial healthcare requirements. Based on this, this study discussed the effectiveness of comprehensive nursing care in patients with brain glioma.
To determine the effects of comprehensive nursing care on postoperative complications, mental health and quality of life in patients with brain glioma.
A total of 106 patients with brain glioma were selected and randomly categorized into an observation group and a control group with 53 patients in each group. The observation group was given comprehensive nursing as well as conventional nursing, and the control group was only given conventional nursing. Postoperative complications, mental status and quality of life were compared between the two groups after the nursing intervention.
After the nursing intervention, the incidence of complications, including limb dysfunction, high fever and epilepsy, was lower in the observation group than in the control group. Anxiety and depression were relieved in the observation group compared with the control group. Quality of life scores were higher in the observation group than in the control group.
The findings of this study provide evidence that comprehensive nursing can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, promote comfort and ease, relieve anxiety and depression and improve quality of life in patients with brain glioma.
Here we present our experience in providing comprehensive nursing in patients with brain glioma, and it shows that this nursing approach is effective. We need better and detailed evidence to demonstrate the significance of this nursing strategy in this population.
