“…A study carried out in Canada highlighted the role of nursing, as oncology nurses performed a program of standardized interventions to meet the needs of a group of patients with colorectal and breast cancer, and a comparison was made with a control group that received usual care. Although there were no significant differences between the two groups, there was an improvement in terms of unmet needs and QOL for the group that received the intervention (20) . Therefore, we emphasize the essential role of nurses in detecting needs and priorities in order to develop strategies to alleviate symptoms and help improve the QOL of these patients.…”

Instruments used: sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core30 and Piper Fatigue Scale, analyzed according to measures of frequency, mean and standard deviation by the software PSPP. Results: Most patients were women over 60 years old, married, retired and housewives, with an average level of education. The scores of general health status, social, physical, emotional and role functioning were considered satisfactory (means 50 to 70), cognitive function was good (mean higher than 70); the most prevalent symptoms were loss of appetite, fatigue, pain and insomnia.

“…Estudo realizado no Canadá evidenciou o papel da enfermagem, no qual enfermeiras especialistas em oncologia realizaram um programa de intervenções padronizadas para atender às necessidades em um grupo de pacientes com câncer colorretal e de mama e compararam com um grupo controle que recebeu cuidados usuais, e encontrou que apesar de não haver diferenças significativas, houve uma melhora em relação às necessidades não atendidas e QV para o grupo que recebeu a intervenção (20) . Sendo assim, salientamos o papel essencial do enfermeiro na detecção de necessidades e prioridades a fim de desenvolver estratégias visando aliviar sintomas e auxiliar na melhora da QV destes pacientes.…”

“…Patients in the control group get standard nursing care whereas those undergoing thoracic surgery are exposed to a fast rehabilitative nursing intervention. The patients' progress during rehabilitation is tracked using real-time data gathering as well as statistical analysis and follow-up surveys in this study [ 21 ]. There were two groups of patients in the study: those who got a supportive care assessment in person and those who received regular care practices or a standard nurse intervention.…”

The Impact of Palliative Care and Nursing Intervention on the Psychology and Quality of Life of Elderly Patients with Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer patients face physical, psychological, and social difficulties. Psychosocial therapies appear to be successful in improving cancer patients’ psychological and social results. Preoperative and postoperative psychological therapies for colorectal surgery patients have not been extensively studied. During their treatment, up to 35% of cancer patients experience clinically severe psychological discomfort. As a consequence, a greater knowledge of health-related quality of life and its causes can assist oncology nurses in developing effective treatments to improve the health-related quality of life. The palliative care model and the nursing intervention model are used in this study to assess the effectiveness of an individually customized nursing intervention for lowering chemotherapy-related symptom distress in adult patients with colorectal cancer. Initially, the dataset is collected and split into the control group and the experimental group. The patient conditions are evaluated using the novel accelerated gradient boosting regression tree (AGBRT) estimation model. For improving the evaluation process, we have proposed the enriched gravitational search optimization algorithm (EGSOA). The system’s success is evaluated in terms of the patients’ psychological well-being and quality of life.
