Application value of nursing intervention combined with early nutritional support in preventive stoma reversion of low rectal cancer

Application value of nursing intervention combined with early nutritional support treatment in preventive stoma reversion of low rectal cancer was explored. Ninety-two cases of low rectal cancer patients undergoing preventive stoma reversion from January 2014 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients had closed fistula 3 months after neostomy. Forty-four cases with routine nursing care were the control group; 48 cases with early nutritional support and nursing intervention were the experimental group. Nutritional status, psychological status, incidence of adverse reactions, wound infection rate, number of shaped and regular defecation were compared in the two groups. The levels of albumin, prealbumin and serum total protein in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group after operation (P<0.05); the levels of albumin in the two groups after operation were significantly lower than those before operation (P<0.001). The SAS and SDS scores in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group after operation (P<0.001); the SAS and SDS scores in the two groups after operation were significantly lower than those before operation (P<0.001). The number of abdominal pain, abdominal distention, diarrhea, incision infection and abdominal infection in the experimental group were less than those in the control group (P<0.05). The number of shaped and regular defecation cases in the experimental group was more than that in the control group (P<0.05). Nursing intervention combined with early nutritional support can improve the nutritional status, psychological anxiety-depression of the patients undergoing preventive stoma reversion, decrease the incidence of adverse reactions, and wound infection rate. It can also increase the shaped and regular defecation cases and is helpful for the recovery of intestinal function.
