Abstract:
Objective To explore the recognition of perioperative needs of elderly lung cancer patients from the perspective of doctors and nurses and provide evidence for improving perioperative nursing measures in elderly patients with lung cancer. Methods Totally 17 doctors and nurses were selected by purposive sampling and received face-to-face semi-structural interview during June to September 2016. The data were analyzed with NVivo 8.0 according to Colaizzi's seven-step analysis method to refine the topic. Results The recognition of perioperative needs of elderly patients with lung cancer from the perspective of doctors and nurses could boil down to four topics: the urgent need for the patient's social support system, the need for perioperative nutrition screening, the need for self-care and assistance, and the need for improving doctor-patient communication skills. Conclusions Nursing managers should pay attention to meet the perioperative needs of elderly patients with lung cancer from the perspective of medical workers and put forward appropriate interventions based on their needs in order to improve the perioperative nursing quality of elderly patients with lung cancer.
