Application of comprehensive care of familial warmth and weakness in patients with gynecological tumor chemotherapy Induced weakness

Xiaofang Wu & Ling Xia et al.

Gynecological tumors pose a serious threat to the physical and mental health of middle-aged women, and chemotherapy is currently one of the main systemic treatment methods. Comprehensive care is of great significance in improving self-care efficiency and quality of life. To explore the impact of family-based comprehensive care of frailty and warmth based on the Belief, Attitude, Subjective Norm, and Enabling Factors model on frailty patients after gynecological tumor chemotherapy. This retrospective study selected 80 patients with gynecological malignancies who were admitted to the gynecology ward of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University from June 2023 to March 2024. According to different nursing methods, 80 patients were divided into control group (40 cases, conventional nursing) and intervention group (40 cases, combined nursing of family warmth and weakness based on conventional nursing). The main evaluation indicators include frailty index, self-care efficacy, quality of life, and related biochemical indicators. All indicators were evaluated at admission and 1 week after each chemotherapy session. Compared with the control group, the incidence of frailty in the intervention group was significantly reduced ( P  < .05), while self-care efficacy and quality of life scores were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group ( P  < .05). C-reactive protein and white blood cell count significantly decreased, while hemoglobin levels significantly increased ( P  < .05). There was no statistically significant difference in the length of hospital stay and chemotherapy interval between the 2 groups ( P  > .05). Family-based comprehensive care of warmth and weakness can effectively reduce the level of weakness in gynecological cancer patients after chemotherapy, improve their self-care efficacy and quality of life, and also have a certain effect on improving related biochemical indicators. It is a comprehensive care model worth promoting in clinical practice.
