Personalized nursing improves physical condition and life quality of patients undergoing interventional therapy for...

Interventional therapy, which can prolong the survival of patients with liver cancer (LC), is an important means to treat the disease. During interventional therapy for LC, it is essential to make a targeted and detailed nursing plan to ameliorate the prognosis. The purpose of this study was to determine the application significance of personalized nursing in patients undergoing interventional therapy for LC. We retrospectively analyzed 136 patients with LC undergoing interventional therapy. Among them, 70 cases receiving personalized nursing were assigned to the observation group (OG), and the remaining 66 cases receiving routine nursing were the control group (CG). After nursing, sleep time of patients in the OG was significantly longer than that in CG. In addition, time to ambulation and hospital stay were shorter in the OG than in the CG. Furthermore, the OG exhibited significantly lower scores of visual analogue scale (VAS) and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), as well as significantly reduced incidence of adverse reactions than the CG. Compared with the CG, the levels of serum alanine aminotransferase (AST), aspartate aminotransferase (ALT), and total bilirubin (TBIL) were significantly lower in the OG after nursing, while the level of albumin (ALB) was significantly increased. Moreover, patients in the OG showed significantly higher nursing satisfaction and quality of life scores than those in the CG. Therefore, personalized nursing has good prospects for usein interventional therapy for LC.
