Psychological and Familial Nursing Interventions for Enhanced Recovery in Mastectomy Patients

This study evaluated the impact of psychological nursing combined with family-like care on prognosis and mental health in breast cancer patients undergoing radical mastectomy. A retrospective analysis included 100 patients, equally divided into a control group (routine nursing) and an experimental group (psychological nursing plus family-like care). Outcomes assessed over four weeks post-surgery included nursing efficiency, patient satisfaction, adverse reactions, anxiety and depression scores, mental status, sleep quality, quality of life, and incidence of negative emotions. Results demonstrated that the experimental group exhibited significantly higher nursing efficiency, patient satisfaction, and quality of life, alongside lower adverse reactions, anxiety, depression, poor mental status, and negative emotions at all-time points (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that integrating psychological nursing with family-like care effectively alleviates postoperative negative emotions and promotes recovery, underscoring its clinical value in the care of breast cancer patients.
