Objective: To explore and analyze the effect of targeted nursing combined with psychological intervention on chemotherapy for gastric carcinoma and its influence on patient compliance.
Methods: The study subjects were 88 patients diagnosed with gastric cancer and treated with chemotherapy from December 2019 to May 2021.
Results: The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Hamilton Depression Cale scores of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group (33.45±6.11 vs. 44.17±5.76; 35.14±5.44 vs. 46.87±5.23, respectively; P < .05); In the Morisky scale, patients in the study group scored higher than those in the control group in terms of weight control, medication compliance, appropriate exercise, and diet control; the study group had more cases of Grade 0 nausea and vomiting and significantly fewer cases of Grades I, II, III, and IV nausea and vomiting than the control group compliance (P < .05); patients in the study group gave higher scores than those in the control group on the nursing care quality, from the aspects of the quality of nursing staff. These findings highlight the significant improvements in psychological well-being, adherence to health-related behaviors, reduced nausea and vomiting, and overall satisfaction with nursing care in patients receiving targeted nursing and psychological intervention.
Conclusion: The utilization of targeted nursing in tandem with psychological counseling has demonstrated a notably positive impact on chemotherapy outcomes for stomach malignancy. The amalgamation of targeted nursing and psychological intervention not only enhances patient compliance during gastric carcinoma chemotherapy but also leads to a reduction in negative emotions, decreased instances of nausea and vomiting, and higher scores for nursing quality. These findings have significant implications for clinical practice, suggesting that the integration of targeted nursing and psychological support could be a valuable approach in optimizing patient care for gastric carcinoma. The observed improvements underscore the potential for widespread adoption of this combined intervention strategy in clinical settings, potentially leading to enhanced treatment outcomes and overall patient well-being.
