Effect of Individualized Systematic Nutritional Support Combined with Staged Cognitive Behavioral Intervention in Patients with Esophageal Cancer undergoing Chemoradiotherapy
Objective:To explore the effect of individualized systematic nutritional support combined with staged cognitive behavioral in-tervention in patients with esophageal cancer undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy.Methods:A total of 150 patients treated with che-moradiotherapy from January 1,2019 to January 1,2023 were selected,and randomly divided into a study group and a control group,with 75 cases in each group,using a random number table method.The control group received routine care,while the study group received indi-vidualized systematic nutritional support combined with staged cognitive behavioral intervention.The nutritional status including hemoglobin(Hb),prealbumin(PA),albumin(ALB),total protein(TP),quality of life using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life C-30(EORTC-QOL-C30),adverse events,self-care ability using the exercise of self-care agency(ESCA),negative emotions using the Beck depression inventory(BDI),Anxiety Sensitivity Index(ASI),fear visual analog scale(FAVS),and satisfaction were compared between two groups before and after intervention.Results:After intervention,the Hb,PA,ALB,TP,EORTC-QOL-C30,and ESCA scores of both groups were better than before intervention(P<0.05),and the study group was better than that of the control group(P<0.01).After intervention,the BDI,ASI,and FAVS scores of both groups were lower than before intervention(P<0.05),and the study group was lower than the control group(P<0.01).The incidence and satisfaction of adverse events in the study group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Individualized systematic nutrition support combined with staged cognitive behavioral in-tervention can improve the nutritional status and negative emotions of esophageal cancer patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy,improve self-care ability and satisfaction,reduce the occurrence of adverse events,and improve the quality of life of patients.
