【Abstract】 Objective To explore the application value of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)
continuous nursing in nursing of breast cancer. Methods From October 2015 to October 2017, 85 cases of breast cancer were admitted in Department of Thyroid and Mammary Surgery and Obstetrics, Jingmen NO.1 People's Hospital and selected as research objects by randomly, and they were divided into control group (42 cases) and observation group (43 cases) according to nursing methods. The control
group was given routine nursing, and the observation group was given continuous TCM nursing, and
the nursing results (health knowledge, quality of life, psychological state, range of motion of shoulder joint, score
of SAS and SDS, incidence of breast cancer complications for the two groups before and after nursing) of the two
groups were compared. t test and χ2
test were used for statistical analysis. Results The observation group was
higher than control group in health knowledge score, quality of life score before and after nursing [(93.8±1.8)
vs (78.6±1.9) points, (291.3±17.2) vs (271.5±16.9) points], the differences were statistically signifificant
(P<0.05). The observation group was higher than control group in shoulder range of motion with statistical
signifificance (P<0.05). The observation group was higher than control group in the score of SAS and SDS after
nursing, incidence of breast cancer complications with statistical signifificance [(48.52±1.76) vs (57.35±1.42)
points,(50.07±3.27) vs (59.21±1.81) points, 6.98%(3/43) vs 23.81%(10/42)](P<0.05). Conclusion
Continuous nursing of TCM can improve the relevant health knowledge of breast cancer patients, relieve
anxiety, depression and other negative emotions, reduce the incidence of complications, and it is worthy of
promotion and application.
