Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of comprehensive nursing for pain,quality of life and satisfaction of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after TACE.Methods A total of 180 patients with HCC treated with TACE were enrolled.The patients were equally divided into intervention group and control group (each n= 90).Comprehensive nursing was performed,including routine nursing care,psychological support,painful health education,nursing interventions with relaxation therapies and pressing acupoints combined with drug analgesia in intervention group.The control group was given routine nursing care.The numerical rating scale (NRS) scores for pain assessment,satisfaction and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results NRS scores at the 1st,2nd,3rd day after operation in the intervention group at resting state and exercise state were all lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05).The satisfaction rate of the intervention group (94.11% [85/90]) was higher than that of the control group (76.67% [69/90];X2 =63.47,P<0.05).The quality of life in intervention group was also significantly higher than that in control group (X2 =7.476,P<0.05).Conclusion In HCC patients,comprehensive nursing can effectively reduce the pain from TACE and improve the satisfaction and quality of life.
