METHODS: One hundred patients with lung cancer treated in our hospital from February 2019 to April 2021 were enrolled. The patients were randomly assigned into control group and study group. The control group received routine nursing and the study group received family participatory nursing model based on WeChat platform. The scores of nursing satisfaction, self-feeling burden, symptom group assessment scale, family care index, and compliance and life quality were compared. RESULTS: First of all, we compared the nursing satisfaction: the study group was very satisfied in 25 cases, satisfactory in 20 cases, general in 5 cases, the satisfaction rate was 100.00%; the control group was very satisfied in 14 cases, satisfactory in 17 cases, general in 13 cases, dissatisfied in 6 cases, and the satisfaction rate was 88.00%. Compared between the two groups, the nursing satisfaction in the study group was higher compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Secondly, we compared the self-perceived burden, the emotional burden, physical burden, and economic burden and total scores of the study group were lower compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Comparing the scores of symptom group evaluation scale, the scores of respiratory symptoms, fatigue symptoms, psychological and emotional symptoms, digestive tract symptoms, and nervous system symptoms in the study group were lower compared to the control group (P < 0.05). In terms of the family care index of the two groups, the scores of fitness, cooperation, length, emotion, and intimacy in the study group were higher compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Comparison of compliance, the study group was very compliant in 42 cases, compliant in 7 cases, noncompliant in 1 case, the compliance rate was 98.00%; the control group was very compliant in 24 cases, compliant in 20 cases, noncompliant in 6 cases, the compliance rate was 88.00%. The compliance rate in the study group was higher compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Finally, we compared the scores of qualities of life. Before nursing, there exhibited no significant difference (P > 0.05). The scores of physiological function, psychological function, social function, and health self-cognition in the study group were lower compared to the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The family participatory nursing model based on WeChat platform helps to facilitate the psychological elasticity and quality of life of patients with lung cancer and further promote patients' self-care ability and compliance with lung cancer. It can also effectively enhance family care and nursing satisfaction; the nursing model is worth popularizing and applying in clinic.
