The effect of comprehensive nursing on the recovery speed and prognosis of elderly colon cancer patients.

To explore the effect of comprehensive nursing on the recovery speed and prognosis of elderly colon cancer patients. A total of 110 elderly patients undergoing colon cancer surgery in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were selected and divided into a control group (n=55, routine care) and an observation group (n=55, comprehensive nursing) according to the random number table method. The post-care stress state index score, surgical tolerance, postoperative recovery, postoperative complications, satisfaction, gastrointestinal quality of life index and other conditions were compared. The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and other indicators scores in observation group were lower than those in the control group; the observation group had shorter postoperative hospital stay, bed time, first defecating time, first anal exhaust time; the postoperative complication rate of the observation group was 9.09%, which was lower than 25.45% of the control group; the satisfaction rate of the observation group was 94.55%, which was higher than 78.18% of the control group. All the above differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (inter-group effect: F=172.100, P<0.001). The GIQLI score of both groups increased with time (time effect: F=69.270, P<0.001), and the grouping and time had an interactive effect (interactive effect: F=7.186, P<0.001). The application of comprehensive nursing in elderly patients with colon cancer has a remarkable effect. It can promote the rehabilitation of patients and improve the prognosis, which is worthy of promotion in clinic. AJTR
