Surgical resection is the primary treatment for gastric cancer, but it often leads to slow recovery, high complications, and poor psychological health. The effectiveness of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) as a new nursing model post-surgery remains uncertain.

To investigate the clinical effect of accelerated recovery nursing program based on multidisciplinary collaboration model in gastric cancer surgery.

A total of 120 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy at our hospital from January 2023 to December 2024 were included in the study. They were divided into two groups of 60 each: The control group, which received routine care, and the study group, which received ERAS based on multidisciplinary collaboration. Both groups received care until discharge. We compared gastrointestinal recovery, psychological status, Short Form 36 Health Survey scores, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, complications, and nursing satisfaction between the two groups.

The study group had significantly shorter defecation time, bowel sound recovery time, and flatus time compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The Hamilton Anxiety Scale and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale scores were also significantly lower in the study group (P < 0.05). Additionally, the study group reported better sleep quality (P < 0.05) and had fewer postoperative complications. Their Short Form 36 Health Survey scores and nursing satisfaction were higher than those of the control group, with all differences being statistically significant (P < 0.05).

The ERAS based on multidisciplinary collaboration in patients undergoing radical gastrectomy can accelerate postoperative recovery, reduce the occurrence of complications, and improve psychological state, quality of life, sleep quality and nursing satisfaction.
