Objective. To evaluate the clinical effects and survival prognosis of radical gastrectomy assisted by external vision in gastric cancer. Methods. A total of 60 hospitalized gastric cancer patients from June 2016 to December 2018 were selected and divided into the observation group and control group according to different surgical procedures. The control group was treated with traditional open radical gastrectomy, while the observation group was treated with radical gastrectomy assisted by an external vision microscope. Relevant surgical indicators, visual analogue scale (VAS), postoperative complications, and life quality assessment were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results. The incision length and intraoperative blood loss in the observation group were smaller than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ); compared with the control group, the observation group had significantly shorter hospital stay, earlier postoperative first exhaust time, and lower gastric fluid volume at the 3rd day after surgery ( P < 0.05 ). The pain scores of the observation group at 1, 4, and 12 weeks after surgery were lower than those of the control group ( P < 0.05 ), and the difference was significant. The quality of life scores at the 1st week and 12th week after surgery showed that the dysphagia symptom scores of the observation group and the control group were significantly reduced but the two groups had significant differences in fatigue, physical function, pain score, postoperative pain, and overall quality of life. The observation group was significantly better than the control group ( P < 0.05 ). Follow-up studies showed no significant difference between mortality and cancer recurrence ( P > 0.05 ); the patients recovered well at postoperation, and the diet of the observation group was better than that of the control group ( P < 0.05 ); gastric reflux and knife pain were less than those of the control group ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. Radical gastrectomy assisted by external vision for gastric cancer yields clinical benefits for gastric cancer patients, which not only dramatically shortened the length of hospital stay but also effectively ameliorated the quality of life of patients, all indicating that external vision-assisted surgery was significantly better than traditional gastrectomy in improving the postoperative quality of life of gastric cancer patients in the absence of increasing the risk of adverse events.

The Impact

Objective Explore the impact of personalized nursing services and hospice care on the quality of life of elderly patients with advanced cancer. Method We selected 80 elderly cancer patients admitted to our hospital from September 2020 to May 2021, and divided these patients into a study group and a control group using a random number table method. The patients in the control group used conventional nursing methods to treat and care for the patients, and the patients in the study group used hospice care measures and combined personalized nursing measures. The quality of life and pain treatment effects of the two groups of patients before and after treatment were compared. Result Before treatment, the quality-of-life scores of the two groups of patients were low, and there was no statistical difference (P>0.05); After treatment, the quality of life of the two groups of patients improved, but compared with the control group, the improvement was more obvious in the study group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In terms of pain treatment effect, the total effective rate of pain treatment in the study group was 87.5%, which was significantly better than the 62.5% in the control group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Personalized nursing services and hospice care are conducive to improving the survival and treatment of elderly patients with advanced cancer, and can be used as a clinical application program for the care of advanced cancer patients.

<p>Objective: to analyze the effect of health education intervention in clinical nursing of patients with skin diseases. Methods: from January 2018 to March 2019, 122 patients with skin diseases were admitted to our hospital and randomly divided into two groups, with 61 cases in each group. The selected patients gave informed consent to this study. The control group was given routine dermatological care, and the observation group was given systematic health education. The treatment effect, mood score and quality of life score of the two groups were compared. Results: the treatment time, recurrence times and outpatient treatment times of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P &lt; 0.05); the HAMA score and HAMD score of the observation group after intervention were lower than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P &lt; 0.05). Conclusion: the implementation of health education for patients with skin diseases during the nursing process can effectively promote the recovery of the condition and reduce the number of treatments and recurrences. At the same time, it can improve the patients’ bad mental mood and improve the quality of life of the patients.</p>

Background. Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in Vietnam. Research on health-related quality of life of Vietnamese gastric cancer patients is still in its infancy. Aim. To assess the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of GC patients using the 15D instrument. Materials and Method. 182 Vietnamese gastric cancer patients were selected to be interviewed and their HRQOL was assessed using the generic 15D questionnaire. Tables regarding history, disease characteristics, and HRQOL of participants were formulated according to genders using STATA 12.0. Results. The average age of the participants was 60.8 ± 11.6. The average time from diagnosis to the date of interview was 14.8 ± 8.4 months. The health-related quality of life (HRQOL) index score of gastric cancer patients using the 15D instrument was 0.92 ± 0.08, in which the “sexual activity” dimension had the lowest score of 0.66. Also, our study found several factors affecting HRQOL, including age, occupation, education, disease stage, treatment, and time from the date of diagnosis. Conclusion. The 15D instrument was a suitable tool to assess Vietnamese gastric cancer patients’ quality of life. Findings from the study suggest the importance of frequently measuring personal functioning and performance of GC patients as parts of QOL assessment during clinical examination. It also implies the needs for more focused policies on raising the overall quality of life of patients such as encouragement of periodical HQROL assessment and acknowledging HRQOL as a treatment/intervention goal besides the 5-year survival rate.

BACKGROUND: Evaluation of the quality of life (QoL) of cancer patients gives valuable information regarding the burden of disease, type of treatment and its side effects in studies on chronic diseases. In this study an attempt is made to predict the QoL of patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancer.METHODS: In a cross sectional prospective study, data of 107 patients with GI cancers 58 male & 49 female with a mean age of 60.7±10.5 referred to a hospital from April 2009 to June 2015 were collected by using two standard questionnaires of EORTC-QLQ C30 and EORTC-QLQ-GINET 21. Data analysis was done using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and correlation test in soft wares of STATA and SPSS.16.RESULTS: Total QoL score was 50.7±24.6 in patients with gastrointestinal cancer which is almost optimal. Symptoms level was more in gastric cancer patients and their major complaints were constipation and diarrhea.  QoL of patients with GI cancers were more affected by the educational level and type of cancer (P<0.05).A high correlation of QoL was related to social and emotional domains (P<0.05). Mean score of QoL was more in males with colorectal cancer, educated and retired patients (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: the social and emotional support to patients with esophageal cancer and to reduce the level of symptoms in patients with gastric cancer due to complications of their diseases or treatment should be of consideration to improve their QoL.
