Research on the intervention of Internet+ platform on the whole bone health management of aromatase inhibitors in breast cancer patients / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the influence of nursing intervention on bone health of breast cancer patients in aromatase inhibitors (AIs) treatment.Methods:Totally 120 breast cancer patients receiving AIs treatment were randomly divided into the observation group (60 cases) and the control group (60 cases), and bone mineral density was measured. After that, the control group was routinely instructed to take calcium supplements, given health lectures, and real-time management. The observation group were given whole-process bone health management intervention based on "Internet+" on the basis of routine nursing. After 1 year, osteoporosis knowledge questionnaire and bone mineral density test were conducted in the two groups.Results:Score of Osteoporosis Knowledge Test of observation group was 21.38±3.29, and 12.54±5.03 of control group, comparing the two groups was statistically significant ( t=10.27, P < 0.05); before intervention bone mineral density of observation group was (1.042±0.138) g/cm 2, and (1.058±0.127) g/cm 2 of control group, comparing the two groups has no statistical significance, comparable ( t=1.053, P > 0.05); after intervention the bone mineral density of observation group was (0.951±0.108) g/cm 2, and (0.854±0.100) g/cm 2 of control group, the comparison between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=5.937, P<0.05). After intervention, the incidence of osteoporosis in the observation group was 21.67% (13/60), which was significantly higher than 35.00% (21/60) in the control group ( χ 2=4.279, P<0.05). Conclusion:Whole-course nursing intervention can promote bone health of AIs patients with breast cancer.
