Multidisciplinary Integrated Continuous Care in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis.

This study aimed to observe the influence of multidisciplinary integrated continuous care on negative emotions, quality of life, and self-care ability in 80 patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) from January 2023 to January 2024. Patients were randomly assigned to group A (n=40, routine care) or group B (n=40, multidisciplinary care). The latter was intervened through the formation of an interdisciplinary team including nutritionists and psychologists, combined with online guidance on the WeChat platform and monthly offline health sharing meetings. Negative emotions (Self-Rating Anxiety Scale [SAS], Self-Rating Depression Scale [SDS]), self-care ability (ESCA), compliance behavior, quality of life (QOL-35), and nursing satisfaction were compared between groups. Results showed that group B had significantly greater reductions in SAS/SDS scores, improved self-care ability, compliance, quality of life, and nursing satisfaction (all P<0.05). Results show that this model can effectively alleviate patients' negative emotions, improve self-management ability and quality of life, and provide an innovative path for the comprehensive care of patients with cirrhosis.
