Targeted Nursing Combined with Endoscopic Submucosal Injection of Carbon Nanoparticles in the Treatment of Colorectal Cancer

Abstract

Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of targeted nursing in an endoscopic submucosal injection of carbon nanoparticles to locate colorectal cancer. Methods. From September 2017 to September 2019, 82 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent endoscopic submucosal injection of carbon nanoparticles for locating the tumor were recruited and assigned via the random number table method (1 : 1) to receive either conventional nursing (control group) or targeted nursing (observation group). Outcome measures included psychological status, compliance, nursing satisfaction, quality of life, and daily living ability. Results. After intervention, the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) scores and self-rating depression scale (SDS) scores were decreased in both groups, with lower results in the observation group ( $P$  < 0.001). Patients given target nursing were associated with higher compliance and nursing satisfaction of patients versus conventional nursing ( $P$  < 0.05). Patients receiving targeted nursing had a better quality of life versus those receiving conventional nursing ( $P$  < 0.001). Targeted nursing resulted in a higher Barthel index (BI) in patients versus conventional nursing 1 d, 7 d, and 14 d after nursing ( $P$  < 0.05). Conclusion. Targeted nursing alleviates the negative emotions of patients with colorectal cancer and improves their compliance, nursing satisfaction, daily living ability, and quality of life.
