The positive significance of staged physical mental combined pain reduction nursing based on pain scoring for cancer pain patient

Abstract

To observe the positive of stage-based physical mental combined pain reduction nursing based on pain scoring for cancer pain patients. A total of 120 cancer pain patients admitted to our hospital from December 2022 to December 2023 were selected. They were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 60 cases in each group. The control group received medication intervention nursing, whereas the observation group received phased physical mental combined pain reduction nursing. The visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores, Psychological Hope Level (HHI) score and Psychological Health Mood State Questionnaire (POMS) score of the two groups of patients were observed before nursing and at 1, 6, and 12 months after nursing. There was no difference in VAS scores between two groups at 1 month after nursing care (p > 0.05), but the observation group had lower VAS scores at 1, 6, and 12 months after nursing; In the HHI score of the observation group patients after nursing, there was no difference between the pre-nursing and 1 month post nursing scores and the control group (p > 0.05), but scores were lower than the control group at 6 and 12 months after nursing; The POMS score of the observation group patients after nursing was better than the control group. All the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Our findings suggest that staged physical mental combined pain reducing care has a positive impact on patients with cancer pain.
