Abstract

BACKGROUND Globally, prostate cancer has become a major threat to men's health, with an increasing incidence and causes serious effects on the quality and length of life of patients. Despite the rapid development of medical technology, which provides treatments, including surgery, radiotherapy, and endocrine therapy, the treatment of patients with prostate cancer, especially with endocrine therapy, has become a major challenge in clinical treatment owing to the lengthy course of treatment, side effects of drugs, and impact of the disease on the psychological and physiological functioning of the patient, producing poor treatment adherence and a decline in quality of life. AIM To explore effects of nursing intervention prioritizing patient safety and case management in patients with prostate cancer undergoing endocrine therapy. METHODS Eighty patients with prostate cancer who received endocrine therapy at our hospital between January 2022 and January 2024 were divided into observation and control groups with 40 cases per group. The control group was treated using a routine nursing workflow while the observation group received case management nursing guidance prioritizing patient safety. Scores for anxiety and depression, prostate cancer symptoms, and quality of life and patient compliance and satisfaction were compared between the groups after three months of intervention. RESULTS After the nursing intervention, the anxiety and depression scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The quality of life score, sexual function, and hormone function were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Case management guidance based on patient safety effectively reduced anxiety and depression in patients undergoing endocrine therapy for prostate cancer and improved their quality of life, treatment compliance, and satisfaction.
