Abstract

Abstract Background Management of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) can be challenging in gastric cancer patients undergoing radical gastrectomy and is always associated with poor prognosis. Even though oncology nurse navigator (ONN) provide effective and critical individualized care to patients, little is known about their impact on the occurrence of PPCs in gastric cancer patients. This study aimed to determine whether ONN decreases the incidence of PPCs in gastric cancer patients. Methods This was a retrospective review in which data for gastric cancer patients at one centre was evaluated before and after an ONN hired. An ONN was introduced to patients at their initial visit to manage pulmonary complications throughout treatment. The research was conducted from 1 August 2020 to 31 January 2022. The study participants were divided into the non-ONN group (from 1 August 2020 to 31 January 2021) and the ONN group (from 1 August 2021 to 31 January 2022). The incidence and severity of PPCs between the groups were then compared. Results ONN significantly decreased the incidence of PPCs (15.0% vs. 9.8%) (OR = 2.532(95% CI: 1.087–3.378, P = 0.045)), but there was no significant difference in the components of PPCs including pleural effusion, atelectasis, respiratory infection, and pneumothorax. The severity of PPCs was also significantly higher in the non-ONN group (p = 0.020). No significant statistical difference was observed for the major pulmonary complications (grade ≥ 3) between the two groups (p = 0.286). Conclusions Role of ONN significantly decrease the incidence of PPCs in gastric cancer patients undergoing radical gastrectomy.
