Abstract:Objective:To investigate the impact of Hogan's staged nursing on lung function,cancer-related fatigue,self-efficacy,and perceived social support in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer.Methods:102 lung cancer patients who un-derwent thoracoscopic lobectomy were prospectively selected and divided into a control group(n=51)and an intervention group(n=51)according to different nursing methods.The control group received routine care,while the intervention group received Hogan's staged nursing.The intervention lasted for 2 months,and the lung function,cancer-related fatigue,self-efficacy,and perceived social support levels were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention.Results:After 2 months of intervention,the forced expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1),forced vital capacity(FVC)and maximum ventilation volume(MVV)of both groups of patients were higher than before intervention(P<0.05),and the intervention group was higher than the control group(P<0.05).The total scores of behavioral fatigue,emotional fatigue,somatosensory fatigue,cognitive fatigue,and revised Piper fatigue scale(RPFS)in both groups of patients were lower than before the intervention(P<0.05),and the intervention group was lower than the control group(P<0.05).The general self-efficacy scale(GSES)scores of both groups of patients were higher than before intervention(P<0.05),and the intervention group was higher than the control group(P<0.05).The dimensions of support within and outside the family,as well as the total score of the perceived social support scale(PSSS),were higher in both groups of patients than before the intervention(P<0.05),and the intervention group was higher than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Hogan's stage nursing is beneficial for promoting postoperative lung function recovery,alleviating cancer-related fatigue,improving self-efficacy,and perceived social sup-port levels in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery for lung cancer.
