A Case Report on Integrated Chinese-Western Nursing for an Elderly Patient Receiving Postoperative Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer
This study explored the application effects of integrated Chinese-Western nursing in elderly breast cancer patients undergoing postoperative chemotherapy.
Methods
2
Integrated nursing interventions were implemented for a 75-year-old female receiving chemotherapy after right breast cancer surgery. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) pattern differentiation identified Qi and Blood Deficiency Syndrome, while Western medicine diagnosed severe neutropenia. Alongside TC-regimen chemotherapy, interventions included: oral administration of Shiquan Dabu Decoction to augment qi and nourish blood, auricular acupressure to alleviate nausea/vomiting, herbal soak therapy to activate blood circulation and unblock collaterals, supplemented by emotional regulation and functional exercise.
Results
2
Post-intervention outcomes showed: 50% reduction in nausea/vomiting frequency; neutrophil count increased from 0.6×10⁹/L to 0.9×10⁹/L; joint pain score decreased from 7 to 4; blood pressure stabilized at 138/85 mmHg; and quality-of-life score improved by 23%.
Conclusion
2
Integrated Chinese-Western nursing effectively mitigates chemotherapy adverse reactions, enhances treatment tolerance, and improves life quality in elderly breast cancer patients.
