ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of multi-disciplinary teamwork (MDT) nursing mode on perioperative care to breast cancer patients. Methods One hundred and twenty breast cancer patients undergoing surgical operations were evenly randomized into the observation and control groups by random digit number table. The control group was treated with routine nursing care and the observation group with MDT nursing mode. Result The rate of complications (like subcutaneous effusion, lymphatic edema and skin flap necrosis) in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group and the hospital stay was significantly shorter than that of the control group as well (all P<0.05). Conclusion The MDT nursing mode can reduce the rate of complications, shorten the hospital stay and relieve patient′s depression.
