Methods A total of 56 patients with esophageal cancer who had esophageal stent implantation in Nanxishan Hospital from January 2012 to June 2016 were collected in this study. The participants were divided into the control group (n=28) and the intervention group (n=28). Based on the health education using dietary health educational card, the intervention group received additional telephone return visit at 1 week and 1, 3, 6 months after discharged from hospital. The quality of life and satisfaction level were compared between two groups before and six months after discharge. Results After the intervention, the intervention group had significantly better assessment scores on appetite, pain, fatigue, vitality, sleep, awareness of cancer, attitude towards treatment, daily life, treatment side effects, and social support compared with the control group (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in family support between two groups (P> 0.05). The satisfaction level was significantly higher in the intervention group compared with the control group (P< 0.01).
