Effect of Multidisciplinary Cooperative Continuous Nursing and Psychological Nursing on Multiple Myeloma with a Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter

Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of multidisciplinary cooperative continuous nursing combined with psychological nursing intervention in multiple myeloma (MM) patients undergoing peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). Methods: The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Anxiety Self-Assessment Scale (SAS), Depression Self-Assessment Scale (SDS) and Revised Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS-R), Self-Care Ability Scale (ESCA), Quality of Life Core Questionnaire (QLQ-C30), incidence of unplanned extubation of PICC, total incidence of catheter-related complications and satisfaction with nursing were compared between the two groups of patients in a prospective study. Results: Patients in the observation group had reduced NPRS, SAS, SDS and PFS-R scores, total incidence of unplanned extubation of PICC and the total incidence of catheter-related complications, and a higher nursing satisfaction rate in comparison to those in the control group. Conclusion: Multidisciplinary cooperative continuous nursing combined with psychological nursing interventions can relieve pain in MM patients.
