Background The present study aimed to investigate the effects of implementing the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO) guidelines for the management of postoperative pain and the use of Jacobson’s relaxation technique (JRT) in patients with bone and soft-tissue malignancy at a single center in China. Material/Methods A total of 312 patients were recruited and randomly divided into 2 groups. In the intervention group, the RNAO pain-management technique of JRT was adopted, while the control group received the standard institutional nursing management. Pain scores after the operation, according to the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) combined with the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale and Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire, were compared between the 2 groups. Nursing satisfaction was compared as well. Results At 6, 24, and 72 h after the operation, the NRS scores combined with the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P <0.001); 72 h after the operation, the Pain Rating Index, Visual Analogue Scale, present pain intensity, and total scores for the intervention group were significantly lower than those for the control group ( P <0.001 for all 4 scores). The scores reported from the patients for nursing response and consequent care ( P <0.001), nursing competence ( P =0.029), and surgical pain-control satisfaction ( P <0.001) in the intervention group were also significantly higher than those in the control group. Conclusions JRT can improve postoperative pain-control and nursing satisfaction in patients with malignant bone and soft-tissue tumors. These data suggest a benefit for application of JRT in clinical care.

Clinical trials on pediatric oncology use therapeutic techniques with the overwhelming majority of children’s cancer patients obtaining therapy via clinical investigation procedures. Medical treatment is scheduled according to a specific protocol for enrolled patients. These protocols often do not refer to nursing care. Nursing care, on the other hand, must complement the medical care specified in the medical research protocol. Safe treatment administration, assessment of treatment responses, patients’ and families’ education, and communication with the whole medical team are just a few of the critical nursing tasks that should be properly managed. Nursing care standards have been developed in this study to strike a good balance between the procedure for clinical research and the nursing care connected with it. These recommendations outline the nursing activities and considerations that must be made while caring for pediatric cancer patients who are engaged in a specific clinical investigation procedure. The objective of this study is to outline the procedure through which nursing care guidelines could be developed and evaluated. The goal of this study was to find out the involvement of nurses in the process of health education for osteosarcoma and family patients.
