Application effect of traditional Chinese medicine appropriate technology combined with humanistic care in postoperative intestinal cancer
Objective To compare the effects of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)appropriate technology combined with humanistic care and conventional care in the rehabilitation of patients with intestinal cancer after surgery,so as to provide more effective nursing measures,enrich the clinical nursing theory,and promote the application and development of TCM appropriate technology in modern medical treatment.Methods This study was a randomized controlled trial.A total of 120 patients with intestinal cancer who received surgical treatment in Jiangmen Wuyi Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from 2021 to 2022 were selected and were randomly divided into two groups.In the control group,there were 33 males and 27 females,aged(56.8±9.2)years,and the course of disease was(14.3±3.7)months.In the observation group,there were 32 males and 28 females,aged(57.2±8.8)years,and the course of disease was(14.1±3.5)months.The observation group used TCM appropriate technology combined with humanistic care,and the control group only used conventional nursing care.The intestinal rehabilitation,postoperative complications,and quality of life score were compared between the two groups.t test and x2 test were used.Results The postoperative bowel sound recovery time,first exhaust time,and first defecation time were(1.46±0.31)d,(1.85±0.32)d,and(2.47±0.33)d in the observation group,and(2.28±0.33)d,(2.59±0.60)d,and(3.60±0.92)d in the control group,respectively,with statistically significant differences(t=13.992,8.505,and 8.975,all P<0.001).The total incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group[11.67%(7/60)vs.30.00%(18/60)],with a statistically significant difference(x2=6.114,P=0.013).After intervention,the scores of physiological function,physiological role,and mental health in the observation group were higher than those in the control group[(69.90±3.83)points vs.(61.75±5.85)points,(75.38±6.74)points vs.(66.19±5.52)points,(86.00±7.38)points vs.(79.83±10.57)points],with statistically significant differences(t=9.031,8.167,and 3.706,all P<0.001).Conclusions TCM appropriate technology combined with humanistic care has significant advantages in the postoperative care of intestinal cancer,which can significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative complications,promote the patients'recovery,and improve their quality of life.It is recommended to widely apply this comprehensive nursing method.
