Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine Nursing Care for a Postoperative Gastric Cancer Patient with Spleen-Stomach Deficiency Syndrome During Chemotherapy: A Case Report
During the postoperative chemotherapy phase of gastric cancer, the toxic properties of chemotherapeutic agents readily impair the transportation and transformation functions of the spleen and stomach in the middle burner. Elderly patients with pre-existing chronic comorbidities often present with inherently weakened visceral organ function, rendering them particularly susceptible to the manifestation of spleen-stomach deficiency syndrome, which in turn diminishes their tolerance to chemotherapy. Guided by the core intervention principles of fortifying the spleen and harmonizing the stomach, replenishing qi and resolving dampness, this study implemented a comprehensive intervention protocol that integrated oral administration of Chinese herbal medicine, acupoint massage, auricular bean embedding, Chinese herbal hot compress, dietary regulation, and emotional support, in conjunction with standardized specialized chemotherapy nursing care throughout the treatment course. Concurrent monitoring was conducted on gastrointestinal reactions, physical performance levels, defecation status, nutritional condition, and the occurrence of complications. The synergistic application of Chinese and Western medicine interventions effectively attenuated chemotherapy-induced impairment of spleen-stomach function, strictly controlled the severity of nausea and vomiting, averted chemotherapy-related adverse events, and ameliorated physical fatigue as well as anxiety. This individualized intervention protocol is well-suited for elderly patients with chronic comorbidities undergoing chemotherapy, and may serve as a practical reference for nursing care guided by syndrome differentiation in similar clinical contexts.
