Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study proposed a multidisciplinary collaborative team combined with a palliative care model and proposed to establish a team composed of medical staff in various disciplines to make up for the defects of a conventional nursing team. This study applied the multidisciplinary collaboration team combined with a palliative care model to patients with terminal cancer to evaluate its clinical effect.

intervention group

The patients in the intervention group received multidisciplinary collaborative team care combined with palliative care.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Health education

Intervention Type OTHER

Doctors carried out health education for patients to avoid patients giving up their lives, encouraged them to actively cooperate with medical staff, and instructed patients on how to face the disease with a brave and strong attitude and actively fight the disease. Nurses conducted daily psychological counselling for patients, learnt their inner thoughts through communication with patients, and provided timely comfort and encouragement. An attention-shifting method can be used to alleviate the patient's attention to the disease, effectively improving internal depression and avoiding depression. For patients with anxiety and loneliness, family members were instructed to accompany and care.

Comfort care

Intervention Type OTHER

Reasonable control of indoor temperature and humidity is necessary to ensure that warm, light conditions permit properly dressed patients to feel warm. Nurses need to ensure that patients are kept clean and tidy in personal hygiene. They would regularly assist patients in turning over while giving patients sufficient respect.

Pain care

Intervention Type OTHER

Clinicians should regularly evaluate the patient's physical pain and give reasonable analgesic drugs to patients. Nurses should closely observe the medication response of patients. At the same time, it is necessary to observe and record patients' physical pain daily and take effective pain control measures.

Dietary care

Intervention Type OTHER

The clinical nutritionist formulated appropriate nutritional diets according to the nutritional status and personal preferences of patients, provided nutritional support for patients, and followed up with patients once a week after discharge to improve their nutritional status.

Psychological and social support care

Intervention Type OTHER

Two nurses with psychological counselling qualifications in the team used the anxiety and depression scale to evaluate the psychological and emotional status of patients and referred to "The Questionnaire Survey on Awareness of Palliative Care" by the Department of Elderly Section of the union medical college hospital. The content mainly included the patient's medical history and general situation, the needs and awareness of patients and their families for palliative care, the choice of patients and their families for the final treatment plan, and the needs of families for grief counselling. Timely professional counselling and intervention were undertaken to alleviate the patient's adverse emotions.

control group

The control group was given routine nursing intervention.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

routine nursing intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

The control group was given routine nursing intervention, strictly in accordance with a routine treatment process, monitoring the vital signs of patients, giving basic nursing, health education, diet guidance and so on.
