Abstract:
Objective:To explore the application effect of nurse-led navigation service in the economic toxicity management of prostate cancer patients, and to provide reference for the economic toxicity management of prostate cancer patients.Methods:By using the method of historical control study, 60 patients with prostate cancer admitted to Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University were selected as the research subjects by convenience sampling from March to August 2023. According to the time sequence of admission, 30 patients admitted from March to May 2023 were included in the control group, and 30 patients admitted from June to August 2023 were included in the intervention group. The control group was given routine nursing, and the intervention group was given nurse-led navigation service. The patients were evaluated at admission, discharge and 3 months after discharge using the Comprehensive Scores for Financial Toxicity Based on the Patient-Reported Outcome Measures and the Compliance Behavior Questionnaire.Results:The age of the control group patients was ( 70.07 ± 5.76 ) years, and the age of the intervention group was ( 68.80 ± 7.22 ) years. The economic toxicity scores of the intervention group at discharge and 3 months after discharge were ( 35.13 ± 4.84 ) and ( 37.90 ± 4.89 ), respectively, which were higher than those of the control group ( 21.70 ± 2.52 ) and ( 21.33 ± 2.94 ), the differences were statistically significant ( t=-13.48, -15.89, both P<0.05 ). The complete compliance rate of the control group was 46.67 % (14/30), which was lower than 73.33% (22/30) of the intervention group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=4.44, P<0.05). Conclusions:Nurse-led navigation services can effectively monitor and evaluate the level of economic toxicity in patients with prostate cancer, reduce the degree of economic toxicity in patients with prostate cancer, help improve patients′ compliance behavior, and help patients cope with economic toxicity in a positive way.
