Effect of moxibustion combined with acupoint catgut embedding on chemotherapy-related nausea/vomiting and quality of life in patients with non-small cell lung cancer chemotherapy
Objective To investigate the effect of moxibustion combined with acupoint catgut embed-ding on chemotherapy-related nausea/vomiting(CINV)and quality of life in patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods A total of 88 patients with NSCLC admitted to our hospital from May 2021 to De-cember 2023 were divided into observation group and control group by random number table method,44 cases in each group.The control group was treated with routine treatment and nursing,while the observation group was treated with routine treatment and nursing combined with moxibustion and acupoint catgut embedding.Both groups were intervened until the end of chemotherapy for three days.The incidence of CINV,comfort(Kolcaba comfort scale score),quality of life(quality of life scale score of cancer patients)and nursing satis-faction were compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference in the incidence of acute CINV between the two groups(P＞0.05).The incidence of delayed CINV Ⅱ-Ⅳ grade[18.18％(8/44)]in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group[45.45％(20/44)].After intervention,the scores of Kolcaba comfort scale[(88.45±8.55)points],quality of life scale for cancer pa-tients[(87.78±9.10)points]and nursing satisfaction[95.45％(42/44)]were significantly higher than those in the control group[(73.81±7.88)points,(75.76±8.81)points,81.82％(36/44),respectively],and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Moxibustion combined with acupoint catgut embedding can effectively reduce the incidence of CINV in patients with NSCLC chemotherapy,improve the quality of life and nursing satisfaction of patients,which is an ideal intervention method.
