Effects of pain management nursing combined with collaborative nursing on pain, mental state and quality of life in patients with advanced tumors

Objective To analyze the effects of pain management nursing combined with collaborative nursing on pain, psychological state and quality of life in patients with advanced tumors. Methods A total of 114 patients with advanced tumors admitted to Ankang Central Hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected. According to the different research methods, the patients were divided into two groups: the control group (50 cases) received collaborative nursing, and the observation group (50 cases) received pain management nursing combined with collaborative nursing. The two groups of patients were matched by PSM, and the pain outcome [American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire-Revised (APS-POQ-R)], mental state [Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS)] and quality of life [World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF)] of the two groups of patients were evaluated before and after the intervention. Results After intervention, the scores of pain degree, pain belief and pain impact on life in observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the scores of pain control satisfaction were higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05). The scores of SDS and SAS in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P＜0.05). The score of physiology, psychology, environment and social relation in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion The combination of pain nursing and collaborative nursing can effectively relieve the pain degree of patients with advanced tumors, and significantly improve their mental state and quality of life, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
