Abstract:
Objective To compare the influence of the doctor-nurse collaborating model and conventional nursing on quality of life (QOL) of esophageal cancer patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy.Methods Totals of 105 eligible patients were randomly assigned to receive the doctor-nurse collaborating model group (study group,n =55) and conventional nursing group (control group,n =50).European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-30 (QLQ-C30) was used to investigate them before intervention and after 1 month of the intervention.Results After implementing the doctor-nurse collaborating model,45 cases in study group and 32 cases in the control group completed established chemoradiotherapy,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =4.252,P ＜ 0.05).One month later,the function items of QLQ-C30 were decreased in both groups,and the level of control group was more obviously.And the symptom items of two groups were increased after the intervention,the pain score in study group was significantly lower than that of control group [(35.4 ± 16.2) vs (42.8 ± 19.0) ; t =2.147,P ＜ 0.05].Conclusions The doctor-nurse collaborating model has positive effects on the QOL of patients with esophageal cancer,and increases their compliance.
