ABSTRACT

The Objective is to investigate the efficacy of bundled care in preventing nosocomial infections among elderly patients with lung cancer, thereby providing scientific basis for improving the quality of care and reducing the risk of hospital-acquired infections in this patient population. Ninety elderly patients with lung cancer, admitted between January 2024 and January 2025, were enrolled in this study. They were randomly assigned to either a control group or an experimental group, with 45 cases in each group. The control group was provided with routine care, whereas the experimental group received bundled care. The incidence of hospital-acquired infections in both groups was compared to assess the effectiveness of bundled care. The experimental group exhibited a notably lower incidence of hospital-acquired infections compared to the control group (P<0.05). Bundled care demonstrates a significant reduction in the incidence and severity of hospital-acquired infections in elderly patients with lung cancer. The widespread adoption of the bundled care model in the management of these patients is advocated to improve the quality of care and enhance patient recovery outcomes.
