Evaluation of Continuous Nursing Through Multi-Channel Follow-Up on Pain Management, Side Effects, and Quality of Life in Patients with Digestive Tract Tumors: A Controlled Study Involving 136 Participants
Clinical Report: Evaluation of Continuous Nursing Through Multi-Channel Follow-Up
Overview
This study evaluated the effectiveness of multi-channel follow-up in managing pain, side effects, and quality of life in patients with digestive tract tumors. Results indicated improvements in pain control, reduced constipation, and enhanced sleep quality among patients receiving this intervention compared to standard follow-up.
Background
Pain management is a critical aspect of care for patients with digestive tract tumors, as inadequate pain control can severely affect quality of life. Traditional follow-up methods often fail to address the dynamic nature of cancer pain post-discharge, leading to gaps in care. Multi-channel follow-up approaches have been proposed to enhance continuity of care and improve patient outcomes.

Key Findings
The experimental group reported lower pain scores compared to the control group.
Participants in the experimental group expressed higher satisfaction with pain control.
Constipation incidence was lower in the experimental group.
Quality of life improved in the experimental group, with more cases of good sleep quality.
The association between pain intensity and sleep disturbance weakened after adjusting for group assignment.
Clinical Implications
Healthcare providers may consider adopting multi-channel follow-up models to monitor and support patients with digestive tract tumors.
Conclusion
Multi-channel follow-up as a continuity-of-care nursing intervention has shown to improve pain management and quality of life in patients with digestive tract tumors.
