Description
Summary:Abstract To explore the effect of rehabilitation‐oriented nursing intervention on self‐care ability and social relationship quality of patients with esophageal cancer after operation. 124 esophageal cancer patients from February 2019 to January 2020 were selected and divided into study group and control group. The control group was given routine nursing, and the study group was given rehabilitation‐oriented nursing intervention on the basis of the control group. The self‐care ability score (ESCA), social relationship quality score (SQRS), mood state score, hope level score (HHI), and nursing job satisfaction were statistically analyzed. Before intervention, there was no significant difference between two groups. After intervention, the scores of health knowledge, self‐concept, self‐responsibility, and self‐care skills were higher in the study group. The scores of friend relationship, family commitment, and family intimacy were significantly higher in the study group, also the SAS (Self‐Rating Anxiety Scale) and SDS (Self‐Rating Depression Scale) scores in the study group were lower than those in the control group, and the scores of attitudes to maintain close relationship with others, attitude to take positive action and attitude towards reality and future in the study group were higher than those in the control group. In addition, the satisfaction of nursing work in the study group was higher than that in the control group. The rehabilitation needs oriented nursing intervention for esophageal cancer patients can effectively regulate patients' depression and anxiety, improve their self‐care ability and hope level, improve the quality of social relations, and patients have high recognition of nursing work.
