Construction of Nursing Practice Model in Case Management of Concurrent Chemotherapy and Radiochemotherapy Treatment in Cervical Cancer

Abstract

Objective. To construct a case management model of synchronous radiotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy and radiochemotherapy (CRR) for cervical cancer led by nurses and carry out preliminary implementation and evaluation, so as to explore a new model of nursing practice. Methods. Totally 80 cervical cancer patients were included in this study, 43 patients were in the experimental group, and 37 patients were in the control group. The clinical data, side effects, psychological reactions, and nutritional indexes were collected before and after the intervention. Results. The results of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADs) showed that anxiety and depression scores decreased after intervention in the experimental group, and the difference between two groups had significant after intervention ( $P<0.05$ ). Serum fatty acids, albumin, and cholesterol in the experimental group were decreased after the intervention. Moreover, the incidence of radiation vaginitis and radiation dermatitis had significant differences between the two groups ( $P<0.05$ ). Conclusion. The case management nursing practice mode of concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy for cervical cancer can effectively promote the self-management of risk factors, reduce the occurrence of complications, and improve the ability of self-care.
