ABSTRACT
Objectives:
This study aimed to analyze the psychological status and quality of life (QoL) of patients with advanced lung cancer and assess the impact of continuous nursing intervention on these parameters.Methods:
A total of 160 advanced lung cancer patients were randomly assigned to a control group or a study group, with 80 patients in each. The control group received the routine nursing intervention, while the study group received the continuous nursing intervention, including health record establishment, regular follow-ups, diet guidance, health knowledge education, psychological counseling, and work and rest guidance. Inflammatory markers (IL-6, TNF-α, PGE2, and SP), Spitzer Quality of Life Index (SQLI), anxiety and depression self-evaluation scales, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, and patient satisfaction were measured before and after 4 weeks of intervention.Results:
Post-intervention, the study group showed a significant reduction in serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels (P < .001), improved SQLI scores (P = .002), and lower anxiety and depression scores (P < .001) compared to the control group. A significant negative correlation between psychological status and QoL was observed (P < .001). The study group also reported lower VAS pain scores (P < .001) and higher patient satisfaction (P = .000) after the intervention.Conclusions:
Continuous nursing intervention has significantly improved psychological well-being, alleviated pain, and enhanced the overall quality of life for patients facing advanced lung cancer. These results indicate that a comprehensive and sustained nursing intervention strategy can serve as an effective approach to improve the well-being of individuals navigating advanced lung cancer during chemotherapy.
