Analysis of the effect of advanced nursing on the quality of life and the prevention of complications in patients with breast cancer undergoing PICC chemotherapy

Objective: To investigate the effect of advanced nursing on the quality of life and the prevention of complications in patients with breast cancer undergoing PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) chemotherapy. Methods: From January 2017 to January 2020, 98 patients with breast cancer undergoing PICC chemotherapy in our hospital were divided into control group and study group by random sampling. The patients were given routine nursing and advanced nursing intervention on the basis of routine nursing. The psychological status, complications and quality of life of the patients were compared. Results: There was no significant difference in HAMA, HAMD score and QLQ-30 score before nursing (P > 0.05). The scores of HAMA and HAMD in the study group after nursing were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05), the scores of QLQ-30 were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05), and the complication rate was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The intervention of advanced nursing mode in patients with breast cancer treated with PICC chemotherapy can effectively alleviate the influence of negative emotion on chemotherapy, reduce the occurrence of complications and improve the quality of life. This mode has high clinical value.
