RESUMO
Objective To explore and study the effect of bundles on prevention and treatment of oral mucositis caused by chemoradiotherapy for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods A total of 40 patients who met the inclusion criteria from June 2014 to December 2014 were selected as the control group, who adopted routine nursing measures, 40 patients who met the inclusion criteria from January 2015 to June 2015 were assigned to the observation group. Bundles on prevention and treatment of oral mucositis caused by chemoradiotherapy for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma were edited using a series of evidence-based approach, and it was used to manage the patients of observation group. Results While doing 21, 28, 33 friction of radiotherapy, the oral mucositis level of 0 degree, Ⅰ degree,Ⅱ degree,Ⅲ degree and Ⅳ degree of the observation group were 8, 25, 7, 0, 0 cases;3, 11, 24, 2, 0 cases;0, 19, 13, 6, 2 cases respectively, which were lower than the control group whose degrees were 0, 31, 6, 3, 0 cases;0, 18, 11, 10, 1 cases;0, 9, 17, 9, 5 cases. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (Z=-4.440,-3.441,-2.232, all P < 0.05 or 0.01). While doing 21, 28, 33 friction of adiotherapy, the throat pain level of 0 degree, Ⅰ degree,Ⅱ degree,Ⅲ degree of observation group were 4, 31, 5, 0; 2, 22, 14, 2; 0, 26, 12, 2 cases respectively, which were lower than the control group whose degrees were 1, 22, 16, 1 cases; 0, 10, 23, 7 cases; 0, 10, 17, 13 cases. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (Z=-3.137,-3.326,-3.518, all P<0.01). While doing 28, 33 friction of radiotherapy, the Self Rating Anxiety Scale of the observation group scored 56.76 ± 3.19, 58.72 ± 5.41, which were lower than 60.58 ± 2.46, 63.42 ± 4.97 in the control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=11.746, 10.561, all P <0.01). While doing 33 friction of radiotherapy, the self rating anxiety scale of the observation group was 60.56 ± 3.73, which was lower than 63.43 ± 4.77 in the control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=-4.983, P<0.01). The following entries:swallow, sensation, eating in public, dry mouth, sticky saliva, feel sick of the quality of life questionnaire of the observation group were higher than the control group while doing 33 friction of radiotherapy. All the differences were statistically significant (t=-3.873-5.130, P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions The bundles could effectively prevent and treat oral mucositis caused by chemoradiotherapy for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It could release the throat pain, anxiety and depression of the patients, as well as improve the quality of life to some extent.
