摘要
BACKGROUND Postoperative complications(POCs)can arise in patients who underwent surgery for gastric cancer(GC).Effective nursing may help in minimizing these negative outcomes.AIM To elucidate the influence of fast-track rehabilitation(FTR)plus humanized nursing on gastrointestinal(GI)function and quality of life(QOL)of patients who underwent GC surgery.METHODS The study participants were 102 patients admitted between December 2018 and December 2020 for GC surgery,of which 52 and 50 patients who received FTR+humanized nursing(research group)and routine nursing(control group),respectively.GI function,QOL,POCs(abdominal distension,infection,GI bleeding,anastomotic leakage,and deep vein thrombosis)and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.RESULTS Compared with the control group,the research group had better GI function,which was mainly manifested by earlier food intake,shorter bowel sound recovery time,short time to first postoperative anal exhaustion and defecation,and shorter length of stay.Besides,the research group exhibited better QOL,lower overall POC rate,and higher nursing satisfaction than the control group.CONCLUSION FTR+humanized nursing not only improve the GI function and QOL of patients undergoing GC surgery but also reduce the incidence of POCs and improve nursing satisfaction.Thus,this intervention deserves popularization in clinical practice.
