Abstract:
Objective To analyze the method of self-management education on the health status of patients with gastric carcinoma during chemotherapy. Methods Patients with gastric carcinoma (60 cases) were divided into the test group and the control group with 30 cases in each group. The two groups both received chemotherapy of complete cycle and general health education. The test group adopted self-management education based upon the above treatment, including collective education, group discussion and individual instruction. The treatment effect was appraised and compared by senior primary nurses. Results The recent total effective rate of chemotherapy in the test group was 76.7%, which was higher than that of the control group (50.0%). The level of life quality of the test group was also better than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Patients-centered self-management education could improve the health status of patients with gastric carcinoma during chemotherapy.
