Objective
Patients who undergo a partial or total laryngectomy experience severe negative effects. The present study aimed to explore the impact of continuous nursing care via WeChat on patients undergoing partial or total laryngectomies.
Methods
A total of 86 patients who underwent partial or total laryngectomies were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups: an observation group and a control group. The observation group received continuous nursing via WeChat, while the control group received routine nursing care. Psychological status, degree of cancer fatigue, and changes in quality of life before and after intervention were compared using a satisfaction questionnaire, self-rating depression scale (SDS), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), piper fatigue scale (PFS), and the quality-of-life questionnaire of the European Organisation for Cancer Therapy and Research.
Results
The total satisfaction rate of the observation group (95.35%) was higher than that of the control group (74.42%) (P < 0.05). After intervention, the SDS, SAS, and cognitive, sensory, emotional, and behavioral scores of both groups were lower than before intervention (P < 0.05), with those of the observation group being lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The quality-of-life scores after intervention were higher in both groups than before intervention (P < 0.05), with those of the observation group being higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
Continuous nursing via WeChat has a significant effect on patients who have undergone a partial or total laryngectomy, and it can improve a patient’s psychological status, alleviate cancer fatigue, and improve quality of life.
