The Impact on Comprehensive Psychological Nursing Intervention for Mammary Cancer PICC Catheter Patients’ Self-care Ability and Quality of Life

Objective: To investigate the impact of comprehensive psychological nursing intervention on the selfcare ability and quality of life of mammary cancer patients with PICC catheter placement. Method: A total of 84 mammary cancer patients with PICC catheter placement were randomly selected from October 2022 to March 2024 at our hospital, divided into a control group and an observation group, each consisting of 42 cases. The control group had received routine care, while the observation group had received evidence-based comprehensive psychological nursing intervention. The Self-Care Ability Scale (ESCA) and the Quality of Life Scale (SF-36) were used to evaluate the outcomes. Result: The observation group scored higher than the control group in self-care knowledge, self-care skills, and self-care responsibility, with statistically significant differences (p<0.05). Additionally, the observation group scored higher than the control group in physiological function, social function, physical function, and psychological function, with statistically significant differences (p<0.05). Conclusion Comprehensive psychological nursing intervention can effectively enhance the self-care ability of mammary cancer patients with PICC catheter placement and improve their quality of life.
