ABSTRACT
Purpose: This paper explored the construction and practice of the fine management of cancer patients during the Covid-19 outbreak. Methods: To establish the medical groups for the fine management of cancer patients during the Covid-19 outbreak, 6 doctors and 6 backbone nurses were selected from the oncology department since January 28th, 2020. And then the medical needs of cancer patients were obtained through telephone follow-up network. Next, the medical group was further divided and the we-media was used for the fine management of cancer patients based on patients' needs. When the we-media failed to solve problems in some special or emergent situations, a pattern combining hospitals, communities with patients was used to provide continuous medical care for cancer patients. Results: The medical group effectively completed the information collection registration of 198 cancer patients through the telephone follow-up network. The current needs of 198 patients were ranked from high to low, and they were: knowledge of diseases, psychological support, PICC maintenance, complication treatment, medication use instructions, rehabilitation exercise instructions and diet combination methods, respectively. Based on patients' needs, the medical group has carried out the fine management for 198 patients through the following activities: 16 live broadcast, 4 recorded videos, 27 group activities targeted at patients, 48 one-to-one telephone counselling, 1 disease brochure, 1 nutritional diet recipe and 1 list for self-monitoring patients' diseases. During the epidemic outbreak, no death or infection cases were found. Conclusion: The fine management effectively helped meet the urgent needs of cancer patients who sought medical service and treatment during the epidemic outbreak. © 2021 A. CARBONE Editore.
