Brief analysis of the nursing care of patients with cervical cancer after common radiotherapy

Radiotherapy is one of the common treatments for cervical cancer and is the first choice for many cervical cancer patients. What are the nursing care for cervical cancer patients after radiotherapy? The following is a brief introduction to the nursing care for cervical cancer patients after radiotherapy.

In general, the common care for patients with cervical cancer after radiotherapy includes:

1. Psychological care. Although radiotherapy is one of the effective methods for clinical treatment of malignant tumors, tumor patients are often affected by the fact that "cancer is an incurable disease". Most patients lack understanding and knowledge of "radiotherapy". Patients have a serious mental burden during treatment. Medical staff should briefly introduce the purpose, effect, superiority, course of treatment, precautions for treatment, possible adverse reactions, common treatment knowledge, etc. to patients and their families before treatment. During treatment, patients should be regularly educated on tumor prevention and treatment knowledge, and personalized care should be provided. Relevant nursing knowledge should be imparted in a targeted manner, and cured cases should be introduced to enhance their confidence in fighting cancer, overcome anxiety and fear before radiotherapy, and actively cooperate with treatment and care. This is the more important care for patients with cervical cancer after radiotherapy.

2 Diet care, in the extracorporeal intracavitary radiotherapy of cervical cancer, the rectum is the most vulnerable organ, and abdominal pain, diarrhea, and bloating occur to varying degrees. The care of cervical cancer patients should strengthen nutrition knowledge education, guide patients to eat a high-protein, high-calorie, high-vitamin, low-residue, low-fiber diet, avoid eating foods that are easy to produce gas, such as sugar, beans, carbonated beverages, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. For those with severe diarrhea, radiotherapy should be suspended, and the patient's signs of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance should be detected. Water, electrolytes and nutrition should be replenished in time by eating fruits, drinking beverages, broth or intravenous fluid supplementation and potassium supplementation.

3 Skin care is also a common care for cervical cancer patients after radiotherapy. With the increase of radiation dose and time, patients will have different degrees of skin reactions, which may be red, dry, itchy, peeling or ulceration. In the care of cervical cancer patients, soap scrubbing or hot water bathing is prohibited. Iodine, alcohol and other irritating disinfectants are prohibited. Do not scratch the local skin. Do not tear the desquamated skin with your hands to prevent damage to the skin and infection. Keep the vulva and groin clean and dry.

The above is an introduction to the care of cervical cancer patients after common radiotherapy. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Once you have cervical cancer, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid missing the best treatment time.
