Summary

This study investigates the effect of an evidence-based nursing intervention, guided by a quantitative evaluation strategy, on psychological resilience and illness perception in lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Patients were randomized to receive either the specialized nursing intervention or routine nursing care, with outcomes assessed at baseline and 3 months post-intervention.

Detailed description

Lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy often experience significant physical and psychological distress. Conventional nursing may not adequately address these multifaceted needs. Evidence-based nursing (EBN) integrates research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preferences. This study evaluated an EBN intervention model guided by a quantitative evaluation strategy, which involves multidisciplinary risk assessment, tailored interventions including psychological support, cognitive restructuring, and complication prevention. The study aimed to determine if this model could improve psychological resilience, illness perception, coping styles, and reduce chemotherapy-related complications in lung cancer patients compared to routine nursing care. A total of 142 patients were randomized. The intervention group received a comprehensive EBN program including risk stratification, psychological/cognitive interventions (e.g., cognitive-behavioral techniques, peer mentoring, family counseling), systematic complication prevention (e.g., prophylactic antiemetics, dietary guidance, infection control), and sleep optimization. The control group received standard disease education, exercise guidance, and medication adherence counseling. Outcomes were measured at baseline and 3 months post-intervention.
