Abstract

Objective: To apply the best evidence of CRF care for lung cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy to clinical practice and analyze its effectiveness. Method: A total of 178 lung cancer patients were selected from a tertiary hospital in Xi’an between June and November 2022. The control group (n = 89) received routine care, while the observation group (n = 89) received EBN intervention. Result: Seven clinical guidelines and one consensus statement were ultimately included. Statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups of the Revised PFS (P< 0.05). Significant improvements were also found in pulmonary function indicators and QoL as measured by the SF-36 (P < 0.05).Conclusion: Developing scientific and standardized continuous quality improvement based on this evidence-based practice is beneficial for lung cancer neoadjuvant chemotherapy patients to reduce CRF.
