Effect of comprehensive nursing centered on stress management on postoperative recovery and negative emotions in patients with ovarian cancer

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of comprehensive nursing centered on stress management on postoperative recovery and negative emotions in patients with ovarian cancer.METHODS: A total of 88 patients who underwent ovarian cancer surgery at Nanjing Maternal and Child Health Hospital from May 2018 to May 2020 were enrolled. According to the simple random grouping method,they were divided into a control group and an observation group,with 44 cases in each group.The control group was given routine nursing,while the observation group was given comprehensive nursing centered on stress management. Patients in both groups received nursing care for 1 month. The postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal function,changes in quality of life and negative emotions before and after intervention in both groups were evaluated. RESULTS: After intervention,the scores of abdominal distension, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting in the two groups were decreased significantly( all P < 0. 05),and the scores of abdominal distension,abdominal pain,nausea and vomiting in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group( all P <0. 05). After intervention,the scores of cognitive function,physical function and social function in the two groups were increased significantly( all P < 0. 05),and the scores of cognitive function,physical function and social function in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group( all P < 0. 05). After intervention, the self-rating anxiety scale( SAS) and self-rating depression scale( SDS) scores of the two groups were decreased significantly( all P < 0. 05),and the SAS and SDS scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group( both P < 0. 05). CONCLUSION: Comprehensive nursing centered on stress management can promote postoperative recovery,improve negative emotions and quality of life in patients with ovarian cancer.
