Treatment for a glioma always involves a multi-disciplinary team. Nursing care in fast-track surgery or enhanced recovery after surgery is such kind of work implemented by an interdisciplinary team to provide services to patients to improve their outcomes. AIM: To explore the effects of nursing care in fast-track surgery on postoperative pain, psychological state, and patient satisfaction with nursing for glioma. METHODS: From June 2018 to June 2020, 138 patients who underwent operation for glioma at Cancer Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing University were selected. They were categorized into groups according to different nursing care that they received. Of them, 69 patients receiving nursing care in fast-track surgery were included in an experimental group, and 69 patie nts receiving conventional postoperative nursing were included in a control group. Visual analogue scale was used to evaluate postoperative pain in the two groups immediately after the operation and at 3 d after the operation. Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were used to evaluate the psychological status of patients immediately after operation and on the 3rd postoperative day. A self-made satisfaction scale for patient satisfaction with nursing was used to evaluate and compare patient satisfaction with nursing between the two groups. RESULTS: Time to excretion, time to out-of-bed activities, and length of hospital stay were significantly shorter in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in duration of operative time or intraoperative bleeding between the two groups (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in postoperative pain score between the two groups (P > 0.05). The pain score was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group at 3 d after the operation (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in postoperative SAS or SDS score between the two groups (P > 0.05). SAS and SDS scores were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group at 3 d after operation (P < 0.05). The rate of patient satisfaction with nursing was 94.2% in the observation group, which was significantly higher than that (81.2%) of the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Nursing care in fast-track surgery can relieve postoperative pain, anxiety, and depression, and improve patient satisfaction with nursing in patients with glioma, which is worthy of clinical application.
