Objective:
The objective of this study was to explore the effect of using the clinical nursing pathway (CNP) to provide high-quality nursing care to patients undergoing head and neck cancer surgery and provide a theoretical basis for clinical practice.
Methods:
In this study, 303 surgical patients with head and neck cancers were recruited. Participants were divided into 2 groups, based on 2 different nursing methods, i.e.., the control group (152 cases) and the intervention group (151 cases). The control group was given routine nursing care, and the intervention group was assigned high-quality nursing care following the CNP. The knowledge mastery, treatment, psychological status, quality of life, and nursing satisfaction of the two groups were compared.
Results:
The knowledge mastery score of the intervention group was higher compared with the control group (p < 0.05); the psychological state score of the intervention group was less than the control group's score (p < 0.05); the quality-of-life score of the intervention group was higher than the control group's score (p < 0.05), and the nursing satisfaction score was higher for the intervention group compared with the control group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion:
High-quality nursing using the CNP for patients undergoing head and neck cancer surgery helps to improve patients' knowledge mastery, mental state, quality of life, and nursing satisfaction.
