Objective: To explore the impact of a nursing intervention program based on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy on the postoperative rehabilitation of gastric cancer patients. Methods: A total of 200 gastric cancer patients were selected as the research subjects and randomly divided into the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy nursing intervention group (Group A) and the conventional therapy intervention group (Group B) according to different nursing methods, with 100 cases in each group. Patients in Group A received nursing intervention with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, while those in Group B received conventional postoperative nursing for gastric cancer. The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, Quality of Life Scale for Gastric Cancer Patients, Self-Rating Depression Scale, and Visual Analogue Scale for Pain were used to evaluate the two groups before and after nursing intervention. Additionally, a nursing satisfaction questionnaire was adopted to understand patients’ satisfaction with the nursing programs. Results: After the intervention, the anxiety and depression scores of Group A were significantly lower than those of Group B. Meanwhile, the average scores of Group A in the eight quality of life dimensions were all lower than those of Group B, with significant differences ( p < .05), indicating that the nursing intervention program based on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy could significantly improve the quality of life of gastric cancer patients. Furthermore, the pain score of Group A within 3 days after surgery was also significantly lower than that of Group B ( p < 0.05), and the satisfaction rate with the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy nursing intervention program was as high as 100%, significantly higher than 85% in Group B ( p < 0.05). Conclusion: The nursing intervention program based on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy can significantly improve the negative emotions, enhance the quality of life, reduce pain, and increase patients’ satisfaction with the nursing program after gastric cancer surgery.
