ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Systematic nursing interventions are beneficial in enhancing the self-efficacy and self-care abilities of patients and improving their physical and mental state, thereby alleviating their fatigue and improving their quality of life.
Research motivation
To explore the effects of systematic nursing intervention.
Research objectives
Gastric cancer (GC) surgery causes significant surgical trauma and slow postoperative healing. Systematic nursing interventions were administered to patients with GC during the perioperative period.
Research methods
This is a randomized controlled study, sample size was based on the multivariable scale. Ten times of the acceptable variable was determined to be 140 patients, and accounting for 20% loss of patients due to follow-up, the sample size was 168 people. Conventional nursing measures were used in the control group, while the systematic nursing intervention Adopted Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS), General Self-Efficacy Scale-Schwarzer (GSES), Self-Care Agency Scale (ESCA), and simple health scale (SF-36) were used in the observation group. The questionnaires were administered on admission and discharge.
Research results
The scores in all dimensions (mental health, vitality, physical function, physical pain, social function, emotional function, and overall health level) in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences.
Research conclusions
Systemic nursing intervention for GC patients during the perioperative period could alleviate cancer-related fatigue, improve self-efficacy and self-nursing ability, and improve quality of life, which all have clinical value.
Research perspectives
Systemic nursing intervention for GC patients during the perioperative period are beneficial. More large scale randomized controlled studies are needed.
