Abstract

To investigate the effect of humanistic nursing care on relieving generalized pain and negative emotions in patients with advanced liver cancer complicated with respiratory failure.80 patients with advanced liver cancer complicated with respiratory failure who were admitted to the oncology department of our hospital (November 2018-November 2019) were chosen as the study subjects and split into group X (n=40) and group Y (n=40), according to method of coin tossing. Among them, group Y received clinical routine nursing care, while group X received humanistic nursing care based on the nursing care in group Y; after that, the effect of these two nursing care models on generalized pain and negative emotions in patients was compared. No obvious difference in sex ratio, age, smoking history, drinking history, Child-Pugh classification of liver function, tumor morphotype and place of residence was found between the two groups (P < 0.05). With no obvious differences in HAMA and HAMD scores between the two groups before nursing care (P > 0.05), HAMA and HAMD scores in group X after nursing care were obviously lower compared with group Y (P < 0.001). The VAS scores of the patients in both groups after nursing care were obviously lower (P < 0.001), VAS scores in group X after nursing care were obviously lower compared with group Y (P < 0.001). With no significant differences in quality of life and PSQI scores between the two groups before nursing care (P > 0.05), quality of life and PSQI scores in group X after nursing care were obviously better compared with group Y (P < 0.001). The scores of optimism, self-reliance and tenacity of the patients in both groups after nursing care were obviously higher (P < 0.05), and scores of optimism, self-reliance and tenacity of the patients in group X were obviously higher compared with group Y (P < 0.05). The total nursing satisfaction in group X was obviously higher compared with group Y (P < 0.05). Humanistic nursing care can effectively relieve generalized pain and improve negative emotions as well as life quality in patients with advanced liver cancer complicated with respiratory failure, with significant therapeutic effect, which is worthy of application and popularization in clinical nursing.
