The effectiveness of application of the standardized terminology for telephone follow-up model in discharge follow-up of patients with cancer pain.

Abstract

Purpose This article aims to explore a standardized telephone follow-up model for patients with cancer pain, thus to promote standardized management of discharge follow-up of the patients with cancer pain.Method We have developed a flow chart of standard terminology for discharge follow-up of the patients with cancer pain. The 80 patients with cancer pain who have discharged from our hospital were divided into the control group (40 cases) and the observation group (40 cases), both groups were followed up by telephone within one week of discharge. The pain nurses have done the discharge follow up by telephone using the communication method of routine follow-up and the communication method of standardized terminology, self-monitoring, treatment compliance, adverse reaction management, self-management ability and satisfaction with telephone follow-up were compared between the two groups. Results The total scores of self-pain monitoring, treatment compliance, adverse reaction management and self-management ability in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The satisfaction of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion The application of the standardized terminology telephone follow-up mode can promote effective communication between nurses and patients, standardize the process and content of telephone follow-up. It can effectively improve the effectiveness of telephone follow-up and the satisfaction of patients with nursing services, which is suitable for clinical reference.

Clinical effects of continuity of nursing care for peripherally inserted central catheters among discharged cancer patients: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials

“…The study included 1400 and 1172 participants in the intervention and control groups, respectively. Ten studies [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] reported on the duration of indwelling PICC, six [24][25][26][27][28][29] on health-promoting lifestyle pro les (HPLP), and three [30][31][32] on quality of life.…”

“…This meta-analysis found that continuity of care signi cantly improved patients' healthy lives compared to conventional follow-up in 1020 individuals across six trials [24][25][26][27][28][29]. Health-promoting behaviors give individuals greater control over their health and its determinants, allowing them to improve their health.…”
