Objective:
Flexible nursing refers to the implementation of individualized nursing according to the patient's condition and characteristics, which can greatly alleviate patients' anxiety, depression and other adverse emotions and improve patients' nursing satisfaction. This experiment studies the effect of the implementation of flexible nursing model for patients with lung cancer chemotherapy.
Methods:
We enrolled a total of 107 patients with lung cancer who were admitted to Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine Department (East District) of Anqing Municipal Hospital from November 2020 to May 2022 in the study. Patients were selected as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. We randomly divided the patients into the test group and control group using a random number table. Patients in the test group were given flexible nursing, while those in the control group received routine care. All patients completed the self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) score and calculated standard score before admission for chemotherapy, and completed the self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score and self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) score and the Nursing Satisfaction Questionnaire of the Eastern Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine of our hospital again at the time of discharge. The anxiety, depression and nursing satisfaction of the two groups before and after nursing were statistically analyzed. We statistically analyzed patients' anxiety and depression levels, as well as their appraisal of the nursing service.
Results:
Compared to the scores obtained at the time of admission, the anxiety and depression scores significantly decreased for patients in both groups at the time of discharge (P < 0.05). Decrease in the anxiety and depression scores for the test group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Patients in the test group reported significantly greater satisfaction with the nursing care when compared to the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
Flexible nursing can significantly decrease the anxiety and depression level in patients with lung cancer who receive chemotherapy and ensure more satisfactory nursing.

Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
