Objective To discuss the application effect of the self-care in the nursing of patients with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE).Methods A total of 163 patients with TACE were divided into two groups randomly:83 cases of self-care group,80 cases of control group.The patients in control group were taken the routine holistic nursing.While on the basis of the holistic nursing the patients in self-care groups were taken 3 self-care systems including the whole-compensation,the part-compensation,and support service system according to their condition,and the patients were encouraged to join the nursing.The rate of complications and the degree of the satisfaction were compared between two groups.Results After the operation,the rate of complication was much lower in the self-cadre group than that in control group,and the degree of satisfaction to the nursing was obviously increased in contrast with the control group,the difference was very significant(P ＜0.01 or P ＜0.05).Conclusions The application of self-care on the nursing of patients with TACE can decrease the occurrence rate of complications,improve the ability of daily life and the quality of life and improve the quality of nursing.
