Effects of postoperative quantitative assessment strategy-based nursing in patients with colorectal cancer.

Abstract

Background: Scientifically sound and reasonable care strategies in surgical nursing play a crucial role in facilitating postoperative recovery and preventing complications. This study focused on the application of quantitative assessment strategies to postoperative care. By quantitatively analyzing the effects of nursing interventions, we explored their feasibility and effectiveness at improving postoperative recovery quality and reducing the incidence of complications. This study provides a scientific basis for nursing practice and offers new insights into nursing management with significant clinical value.

Aim: To analyze the efficacy of postoperative quantitative assessment strategy-based nursing care for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).

Methods: This randomized controlled trial evaluated the ability of nursing interventions using a quantitative assessment strategy to prevent postoperative complications and enhance patient recovery. Patients with CRC were randomly divided into routine nursing (RN) and quantitative assessment strategy nursing (QASN) groups. The RN group received standard care, while the QASN group also underwent screenings for visual analog scale for pain, Barthel Index for functional recovery, and self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale for psychological status. Follow-ups were conducted on postoperative days 1, 7, 14, 28, and 56.

Results: The participants' baseline characteristics did not significantly differ between study groups, thereby ensuring the reliability of the results. The QASN vs RN group showed significant improvements in pain management (visual analog scale scores) and psychological status (self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale scores) and a reduced incidence of postoperative complications (P < 0.05). The follow-up evaluations at specified intervals confirmed these findings, indicating that quantitative assessment strategies significantly enhanced patients' postoperative pain management and psychological well-being.

Conclusion: Nursing interventions using structured quantitative assessments demonstrated significantly improved postoperative recovery and quality of life in patients with CRC, supporting their integration into standard postoperative care protocols.
