Abstract:

Objective To analyze the effect of multidimensional nursing intervention based on empowerment theory on postoperative patients with laparoscopic colon cancer. Method A retrospective analysis was conducted on 80 postoperative patients with laparoscopic colon cancer admitted to Changzhou Second People's Hospital from January 2023 to December 2024. According to the intervention method, they were divided into an experimental group (40 cases) and a control group (40 cases). The control group received routine nursing interventions, while the experimental group received multidimensional nursing based on empowerment theory. Compare the recovery status of gastrointestinal function, quality of life, and incidence of postoperative complications between two groups. Result The postoperative anal exhaust time, gastric tube removal time, and normal food recovery time of the experimental group were significantly shorter than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.01). There were no significant differences in the gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI) scores between the two groups before surgery. Postoperatively, the GIQLI scores for both groups improved compared to preoperative levels, with the experimental group showing significantly higher GIQLI scores than the control group (P ＜ 0.05). The total incidence of postoperative complications in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group (2.50% vs. 15.00%), and the difference was significant (χ2=3.913, P=0.048). Conclusion The multidimensional nursing intervention of empowerment theory significantly accelerates the recovery of gastrointestinal function, improves the quality of life, and reduces the risk of postoperative complications in patients with laparoscopic colon cancer surgery.
