Abstract

Objective: To explore and analyze the nursing effect of humanized nursing on elderly patients with esophageal cancer who received radiotherapy. Methods: 96 elderly patients with esophageal cancer who received chemotherapy in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2018 were selected for this study. All the subjects were randomly divided into reference group and research group of 48 cases, and the patients in the two groups were given routine care and humanized care. The quality of life and satisfaction with nursing were compared between the two groups. Results: The QOL score (49.3±5.1) of the experimental group receiving humanized care was significantly higher than that of the reference group receiving conventional nursing intervention (36.4±6.4). Meanwhile, the nursing satisfaction of the experimental group was 95.8% higher than that of the reference group (72.9%). All the differences were statistically significant, P<0.05. Conclusion: In the process of nursing elderly patients with esophageal cancer who received radiotherapy, humanized nursing can significantly improve the quality of life of patients, improve the satisfaction of patients with nursing, with high clinical value.
