Abstract

Objective: To explore the effect of targeted nursing on the quality of sleep and life in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Methods: This study was conducted in 88 lung cancer patients who underwent chemotherapy. According to the random number table, these patients were assigned to the control group (n=44) and the experimental group (n=44). In the control group, patients received routine nursing. Meanwhile, patients in the experimental group received both routine nursing and targeted nursing. The quality of sleep score, quality of life score, psychological state-related score, and visual analogue scale (VAS) score on admission and 1 week after discharge were compared between the two groups.

Results: There were no differences in the quality of sleep score, quality of life score, psychological state-related score, and VAS score between the two groups of patients on admission (all P>0.05). Compared with those on admission, the quality of sleep score, quality of life score, psychological state-related score, and VAS score in both groups 1 week after discharge were declined (all P<0.05). Additionally, the changes in the experimental group were much bigger than those in the control group (all P<0.001). Satisfaction in nursing in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05).

Conclusion: Targeted nursing can improve the quality of sleep, quality of life, psychological state, and satisfaction in nursing in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
