Research on nursing effect of fast track surgery used in colon cancer surgery in a primary hospital / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective The study aimed to explore the application of fast track surgery in nursing of patients with colon cancer in a primary hospital.Methods The 60 colon cancer patients were identified with numbers to indicate randomization into the fast tract surgery group (group A) and the conventional treatment group (group B) with 30 cases in each group.Group A used the concept of fast track surgery (FST) perioperative nursing care,whereas traditional perioperative nursing care for colon cancer was used in group B.Patients in both groups were observed for postoperative time for passage of gas by anus,time for first food intake,length of stay in hospital,fee for hospitalization as well as incidence of postoperative complications,and comparative analysis was carried out.Results Time for passage of gas by anus(t value was 3.571),time for first food intake (t value was 8.944),length of stay in hospital (t value was 3.397),fee for hospitalization (t value was 3.950) as well as incidence of postoperative complication in group A were lower than those of group B.The satisfaction degree of group A was 96.67％(29/30) while 83.33％(25/30) in group B and the satisfaction degree between the two groups was statistically significant.Conclusions In the primary hospital,the fast track surgery care used in colon cancer can not only speed up the recovery process of the patients,shorten hospital stay,reduce hospital cost and the incidence of postoperative complications,but also can reduce the workload of nurses and improve the satisfaction degree of patients.
