Abstract

Objective: To assess impact of continuous nursing intervention on quality of life in patients with acute leukemia. Methods: the valid data was collected from 202 patients during July 2019 to February 2021. In the early stages of the study, participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention or a control group. Control group participants received common nursing intervention during treatment. In another group, the participants who received additional continuous nursing intervention based on common nursing intervention were defined as the intervention group. The data included age, sex, education, marital status, duration of illness, number of treatments, quality of life assessments, and physical functioning status. Result: All results of characteristic were no significant difference between control group and intervention group. In addition, after carrying out nursing intervention, control group participants had better improvement in some indexes of quality-of-life, such as Physiological, Social/family, and Emotional. However, comparing with control group, function, leukemia specific module, and total score were significant difference in intervention group (p < 0.05). Also, we observed that intervention group participants had better physical functional status after carrying out nursing intervention, their physical functional status assessment was significant higher compare with control group participants. Conclusion: continuous nursing intervention can improve quality of life and physical function in patients with acute leukemia in long term. compared with common nursing intervention, continuous nursing intervention is more likely to improve patients by changing their behavior so that patients' quality of life and physical function are imperceptibly improved over the long term.
