Abstract:

Objective

Cluster intervention is a structured approach to improving medical quality and improving patient outcomes. This article aims to explore the role of cluster intervention primarily focused on cough suppression therapy in postoperative intractable cough (PIC) of lung cancer patients.

Methods

A total of 222 patients with right lung cancer who underwent thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer in The Affiliated Huai'an No.1 People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from February 2020 to August 2021 were included in this study. A total of 108 patients (study group) adopted the concept of cluster intervention, mainly focused on cough suppression therapy during the perioperative period. From February to December 2020, 114 patients (control group) were treated as routine. The differences in cough symptoms and the incidence of PIC at different stages between the two groups in 3 months after surgery were statistically analyzed.

Results

The results of one-way repeated measurement variance analysis showed that the postoperative cough symptom scores of patients between the two groups showed different trends with treatment time (F=5.288, P<0.05) . There is a significant difference in cough severity between the two groups of patients in 1 month and 3 months after surgery (χ2=8.755, 8.208, P<0.05) . The incidence of PIC (χ2=5.299, 6.361, 4.808, P<0.05) in the study group was significantly lower than those in the control group at 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months after the operation.

Conclusions

Adopting cluster intervention measures mainly focused on cough suppression therapy can effectively improve PIC in lung cancer patients and improve their quality of life.
