Abstract:

Objective To explore the effect of five element music therapy combined with 6 minute walking test (6MWT) in perioperative accelerated rehabilitation surgery nursing of rectal cancer patients. Method From June 2019 to January 2021, 90 patients with rectal cancer who needed radical resection of rectal cancer in Huazhong University of Science and Technology Union Shenzhen Hospital were selected as the research objects. They were numbered according to the order of admission and divided into experimental group and control group according to the random number table, with 45 cases in each group. The control group received routine perioperative accelerated rehabilitation surgical nursing, while the experimental group received five element music therapy combined with 6MWT. The effect of 6MWT before and after intervention, postoperative eating time, exhaust

time, length of hospital stay and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Result There was no significant difference between the two groups before the intervention (P ＞ 0.05). The 6MWT result after the intervention in the experimental group was (375.07 ± 21.95) m, which was significantly higher than that before the intervention (228.66 ± 15.69) m, and also higher than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05). The postoperative eating time, exhaust time and hospital stay in the experimental group were shorter than those in the control group, and the incidence of postoperative complications was also lower than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Five element music therapy combined with 6MWT nursing can accelerate the postoperative rehabilitation of patients with rectal cancer, reduce postoperative complications and improve the postoperative clinical outcome.
