Abstract

This study explored the impact of systematic nutritional support nursing intervention on nutritional status, quality of life, complication rate, and nursing satisfaction in critically ill cancer patients, providing clinical evidence for optimizing nutritional nursing programs for ICU patients with critical cancer. A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted, selecting 88 critically ill cancer patients admitted to the ICU of our hospital from January 2024 to December 2024. They were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 44 patients in each group. Nutritional indicators (serum albumin, prealbumin, hemoglobin), Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) scores, complication rates, and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups before and two weeks after the intervention. Systematic nutritional support nursing intervention can effectively improve the nutritional status of critically ill cancer patients, reduce the risk of nutrition-related complications, and improve patients' quality of life and nursing satisfaction.
