Abstract：Objective:To explore the effects of Orem self-care model on colorectal cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.Methods:A total of 72 cases of colorectal cancer chemotherapy patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group,each group with 36 cases.The control group received routine nursing measures ,while the observation group was treated with Orem self-care model.The Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS),Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS)was used to evaluate the psychological state of patients,and the general quality of life scale(GQOLI-74)assess changes in the quality of life of patients before and after nursing care.Nutritional status were compared between two groups.Results:After intervention,the SAS and SDS were significantly lower than those before intervention,and the observation group after the intervention of SAS and SDS were significantly lower than those of the control group after the intervention,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The observation group overall quality of life outcome scores were significantly higher than that before the intervention ,and were significantly higher than that of the control group after the intervention,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The observation group′s anthropometric and nutritional indicators were significantly better than those in the same group before the intervention,and was significantly better than those in the control group after the intervention,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:Orem self-care model can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of patients with rectal cancer chemotherapy self-care,improve the quality of life of patients,improve the psychological state.
