ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effect of continuous management of cancer pain patients by group follow-up model. Methods A total of 86 cases of cancer pain patients discharged from oncology department from March to May 2016 were selected and grouped according to the number of inpatients. The control group(44 cases)was treated with conventional intervention, and the experimental group(42 cases) was followed by team follow-up. The cancer pain control effect and quality of life were evaluated in the two groups after 1 month. Results The average degree of pain degree within 24 h in the past pain after intervention respectively was (2.90 ± 0.85) (2.56 ± 0.79) points in the experimental group and (4.17 ± 0.92) (4.00 ± 1.18) points in the control group, there was statistically significant difference between the two groups (t=6.618, 6.492, P < 0.01). The quality of life in physical function, cognitive function, social function, general health level was(66.83 ± 20.02),(69.33 ± 15.45),(61.17 ± 16.50),(63.83 ± 17.93)points in the experimental group,(27.83 ± 11.97),(36.17 ± 16.24),(26.14 ± 17.29),(28.23 ± 17.43)points in the control group, there were significant differences(t =4.224-9.727,P<0.05 or 0.01). There was no significant difference in role function and emotion function between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions The continuous management of team follow-up can help the patients with cancer pain continue to receive standard treatment and care after discharge, which will help improve the patient's pain control level and improve the quality of life.
