Abstract
Background: With the popularity of WeChat, Internet-based nursing approaches are gradually being applied to disease care, as they can better meet nursing requirements. Objectives: To explore the impact of the WeChat health management platform on the self-care ability and quality of life of patients with liver cancer undergoing interventional therapy Methods: A total of 82 patients with liver cancer who underwent interventional therapy were selected from January 2020 to January 2021 and randomly divided into the observation (n = 41) and control (n = 41) groups. The control group received routine nursing measures, while the observation group received the new nursing mode based on the WeChat health management platform. The WeChat health management platform can help patients develop health education plans, remind them of follow-up appointments, promote knowledge about nursing measures for liver cancer interventional therapies, provide feedback on medication use to doctors, and strengthen doctor–patient communication. The self-care ability and quality of life of the two groups of patients were compared before and after the intervention. Results: After the intervention, the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) scores were lower in the patients of the observation group than those in the control group, indicating an improvement in the adverse moods and quality of life of patients in the observation group. Also, the psychological, physical, and social functions and overall health scores of patients in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (all P-values < 0.05). Conclusions: The WeChat health management platform could improve the self-care ability of liver cancer patients undergoing interventional therapy and their mood and quality of life, which is worthy of clinical reference.
