Objective? To explore the effects of fast track surgery (FTS) nursing on fatigue and quality of life among hepatocellular carcinoma patients. Methods? From June 2017 to June 2018, we selected 80 primary hepatic carcinoma patients with hepatocellular carcinoma resection of hepatobiliary surgery at Peking Union Medical College Cancer Hospital as subjects by convenience sampling. All of the patients were divided into control group and observation group with the method of random number table, 40 cases in each group. Observation group carried out FTS, while control group adopted routine nursing. The intervention effects were compared with the Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS) and the Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30). Results? Before intervention, there was no statistical difference in the score of CFS between two groups (P>0.05). After intervention, the total score and dimension scores of CRF of observation group were lower than those of control group with statistical differences (P< 0.01). Before intervention, there was no statistical difference in the score of QLQ-C30 between two groups (P> 0.05). After intervention, the total score of QLQ-C30 of observation group was higher than that of control group with a statistical difference (P< 0.01). Conclusions? FTS can effectively improve the postoperative fatigue of hepatocellular carcinoma patients and quality of life of patients which is worthy of clinical popularization and application.
