Application practice of comfortable medical concept in patients with gastric cancer surgery

Objective To explore the application effect of comfortable medical concept in patients with gastric cancer surgery. Methods A total of 238 patients who underwent radical resections for gastric cancer in Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery were chosen from January 2015 to November 2015. These patients were divided into observation group (120 cases) and control group (118 cases) according to development time of comfortable medical concept. Comfortable medical concept was applied in the observation group and routine medical concept for control group. Preoperative anxiety score, postoperative pain score, postoperative length of intestinal function recovery time, leaving bed and hospital stay, hospitalization expense, postoperative complication and satisfaction degree were observed as the main indexes to discriminate the two groups. Results Patients in observation group were demonstrated having lower postoperative anxiety score and pain score, shorter length of postoperative intestinal function recovery time and hospital stay, faster time of leaving bed, lower hospitalization expense, higher satisfaction degree compared with that of control group (P 0.05) . Conclusions It is safe and effective to apply the comfortable medical concept to perioperative treatments for gastric cancer patients, which can significantly improve the patient's comfortable experience and accelerate the postoperative rehabilitation.
