Application effects of evidence-based nursing in pain nursing of advanced lung cancer.

OBJECTIVE This research was designed to explore the application evaluation of evidence-based nursing (EBN) in pain nursing of patients with advanced lung cancer (LC). METHODS A total of 108 advanced LC patients admitted to our hospital were randomized into a control group and an observation group, each with 54 patients. Those in the control group were given conventional nursing measures and those in the observation group were treated by EBN measures based on the former. The scores of pain levels, sleep quality, and negative emotions (anxiety and depression), quality of life, and nursing satisfaction of the two groups were compared. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the sleep quality score, quality of life, and nursing satisfaction of patients in the observation group were higher. The scores of pain levels and negative emotions (anxiety and depression) were lower, with statistically marked differences (all P<0.05). CONCLUSION EBN has good clinical practicability in the pain of advanced LC, improving patients' sleep, quality of life after treatment, and nursing satisfaction. It can be recommended in clinical practice.
