Study on influence of continuity of care on quality of life of patients with primary liver cancer after CyberKnife treatment
Abstract：Objective:To probe into the influence of continuity of care on the quality of life of patients with pri-mary liver cancer after CyberKnife treatment.Methods:A total of 212 patients with liver cancer meeting the di-agnostic criteria were selected and randomly divided into observation group(107 cases)and control group(105 cases).The patients in control group received routine nursing after CyberKnife treatment,besides that the pa-tients in observation group received continuity of care.The patients in both groups were evaluated and compared with 0~10 digital pain intensity score(NRS),GWB,ECOG and QOL of cancer patients respectively in a week before discharging(before intervention)and 3 months after discharging(after intervention).Results:The NRS and ECOG score of liver cancer patients in observation group after intervention were significantly lower than that before intervention,and the GWB score and QOL score were significantly higher (P < 0.05 );while the ECOG score and NRS score in control group after intervention were also improved(P <0.05).After interven-tion,there was statistically significant difference in NRS score,ECOG score,GWB score and QOL score between both groups(P <0.05 or P <0.01).Conclusion:After discharging,continuity of care can effectively reduce the pain of patients after CyberKnife treatment,promote the recovery of patients’physical fitness,and improve the self care ability of patients,at the same time can effectively enhance the general well being and quality of life of patients.
