Key points of home care for the recovery of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma

After clinical treatment, nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients will have a relatively long recovery period, and home care becomes an important part of rehabilitation treatment. It mainly includes the following three aspects:

1. Ensure that patients have a healthy diet and balanced nutrition.

Family dietary care is an important part of family care. Nutritional meals should be planned, purposeful, reasonably arranged and scientifically formulated.

2. Provide good psychological counseling and encourage patients to engage in appropriate work and participate in social activities.

Creating a relaxed, natural, and warm atmosphere for the patient's rehabilitation, doing a good job in the patient's ideological work and psychological care, is conducive to the patient's emotional stability and psychological balance, which is an important part of family psychological care. Encouraging patients to engage in appropriate work and participate in social activities, this kind of vocational rehabilitation back to the working environment is of great significance to cancer patients, because it is a manifestation of their affirmation of their own value, and they will feel that their lives are more fulfilling and meaningful.

3. Arrange the patient’s daily life.

Efforts should be made to cultivate patients to maintain a certain work and rest schedule and a regular life. Appropriate rest is necessary, but lying in bed for too long will reduce appetite, make the spirits low, and make the muscles loose and weak, thus reducing the body's resistance and being detrimental to the recovery of the disease. Efforts should be made to quit bad habits and hobbies in life, such as smoking and drinking.
