ABSTRACT

This paper is to explore the effect of clinical nursing pathway model on the improvement of quality of life in patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy, so as to provide empirical support for the development of clinical nursing programs for such patients. From January 2021 to January 2024, 80 lung cancer patients admitted to our hospital were selected and divided into groups using a random number table method. Both groups received chemotherapy treatments. The control group (n=40) was administered conventional care measures, while the observation group (n=40) underwent care through the clinical care pathway model. The emotional scores, pain scores, sleep quality scores, quality of life scores, and cancer-related fatigue scores before and after the nursing interventions, as well as nursing satisfaction, were compared between the two groups.  Prior to the nursing intervention, there were no statistically significant differences (P>0.05) in anxiety scores, depression scores, and pain scores between the two groups. Post-intervention, these scores decreased in both groups, with the observation group showing a more pronounced reduction (P<0.05). Similarly, before the intervention, no statistically significant differences in sleep quality scores were observed between the groups (P>0.05). After the intervention, the sleep quality scores decreased in both groups, with the observation group demonstrating a greater improvement (P<0.05). Before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in quality of life scores (P>0.05), but after the intervention, these scores increased in both groups, with the observation group showing a higher score (P<0.05). Pre-intervention, no statistically significant differences were found in cancer-related fatigue scores between the groups (P>0.05). Post-intervention, these scores decreased in both groups, with the observation group showing a more significant reduction (P<0.05). Additionally, the nursing satisfaction in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The implementation of the clinical care pathway model for lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy can significantly enhance their quality of life, improve sleep quality, mitigate cancer-related fatigue, alleviate adverse emotional states, and elevate nursing satisfaction, demonstrating a favorable overall effect.
