Objective To investigate the effects of mobile health-based information support on the quality of life and nutritional status of rural elderly cancer patients after discharge.Methods A total of 110 rural elderly cancer patients discharged from the oncology department of a affiliated hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from April 2021 to October 2022 were selected and randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group,with 55 patients in each group.The control group received routine continuous nursing,while the experimental group received mobile health-based information support in addition to routine nursing.After 6 months,the nutritional indicators[body mass index(BMI),serum albumin,total protein,serum prealbumin],QLQ-C30 score and mastery of disease knowledge were compared between the two groups.Results BMI and total protein in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in serum albumin and serum prealbumin between the two groups(P＞0.05).The overall health status score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).Among the five functional areas,except"social function",there were statistically significant differences in the scores of the other four areas between the two groups(P＜0.05).The score of cancer-related knowledge in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Mobile health-based information support can effectively improve disease knowledge literacy,improve nutritional status,and enhance the quality of life of rural elderly cancer patients after discharge.It has certain clinical application value.
