Application of Predictive Dietary Guidance in Radiotherapy Nursing of Esophageal Cancer

Abstract

Objective: To explore the effect of predictive diet guidance in radiotherapy nursing of esophageal cancer. Methods: 96 patients with esophageal cancer in our hospital (from January 2019 to January 2021) were randomly divided into group A and group B. Group A (48 cases) received routine nursing, and group B (48 cases) received predictive dietary guidance on the basis of group A. The incidence of adverse reactions, clinical indicators and quality of life were compared between the two groups. Results: After nursing, the incidence of adverse reactions of radiotherapy in group B was lower than that in group A, the clinical indexes in group B were higher than those in group A, and the quality of life in group B was higher than that in group A (P < 0.05). Conclusion: For esophageal cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy, the implementation of predictive diet guidance can effectively reduce complications, improve the quality of life of patients, and improve nursing satisfaction. The effect is ideal, which is worthy of widespread application.
