Results The lung cancer patients' overall response rate of one thousand six hundred and eight cases was 83.1%.Reservation phone type, phone number,family history of cancer are major factors affecting lung cancer patients' telephone followed up response rate(P<0.05). Conclusions Telephone follow-up of patients with lung cancer response rates is at a low level.To improve tumor response rates of follow-up and follow-up quality is a long and arduous task,requiring medical personnel continue to learn professional knowledge,summing up a reasonable follow-up methods,but also needing patients and their families to understand and cooperate.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the nutrition status and quality of life(QOL)in the perioperative patients with laryngeal cancer and to analyze the effect of nutrition status on quality of life.Methods Sixty-six patients with laryngeal cancer were surveyed respectively by self-designed general situation questionnaire,nutritional risk srcreening 2002(NRS2002)and European organization for research and treatment of cancer quality of life core questionnaire(EORTC QLQ-C30).The impact of nutritional status on QOL was analyzed by the multiple linear regression analysis.Results The total score of nutritional risk of perioperative patients with laryngeal cancer was 3.53±1.51 and the incidence of nutritional risk was 28.79%.The nutrition status influenced on QOL, physiological function,cognitive function and pain area(P<0.05).Conclusion Nurses should assess the nutritional status of the patients and correct malnutrition without delay in order to improve the physical function and QOL of the patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To survey the compliance degree of patients with allergic rhinitis completing their specific desensitizing therapy and to evaluate the relating factors with this compliance degree, and to explore the nursing countermeasures. Methods A retrospective study was carried out in 186 patients with allergic rhinitis receiving specific immunotherapy from January 2007 to December 2008. Noncompliance patients were contacted with scheduled telephone interviews to investigate the causes. Results Compliance rate was 71.0%,primary reason for non-compliance is poor efficacy (16 patients, 29.6% ), followed by busy work or study (10 patients, 18.5%) and disappearance of symptoms (7 patiens, 13.0%). Conclusions The compliance degree of AR patients receiving specific desensitizing therapy is still poor, but the reasons for non-compliance can be controlled by many factors, compliance is still much room for improvement.
