Effects of ADOPT-Based Breathing Training Combined with Continuous Nursing on Quality of Life, Mental Health, and Self-Efficacy in Lung Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy: Based on a Retrospective Cohort Study

Objective. Considering the poor effect of routine nursing program on patients with lung cancer after chemotherapy, a retrospective cohort study was conducted to elucidate the effects of respiratory training based on ADOPT mode combined with continuous nursing on quality of life, mental health, and self-efficacy in patients undergoing lung cancer chemotherapy. Methods. Sixty patients with lung cancer admitted in our hospital from January 2019 to April 2021 were selected. Patients in both groups received ADOPT breathing training. Patients who underwent routine nursing were assigned into control group (n=30) and patients with continuous nursing were set as study group (n=30). The differences in nursing satisfaction, self-management efficacy, quality of life score, mental health, family care index, and self-transcendence scale scores of patients with lung cancer were determined. Results. First of all, we compared the baseline data of the two groups, and there was no statistical difference. In the comparison of nursing satisfaction between the two groups, 24 cases in the study group were very satisfied, 5 cases were satisfied, 1 case was general, and the satisfaction rate was 100%, whereas in the control, 14 cases were very satisfied, 8 cases were satisfied, 4 cases were not satisfied, and the satisfaction rate was 86.67%. Compared to the control, the nursing satisfaction was higher in the study group (P0.05). After nursing, the scores of self-management efficacy were higher in the study group, compared to the control (P
