Overview
Brief Summary
This single-center randomized controlled trial compares the effects of precision nursing and conventional care in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery.
Precision nursing includes personalized preoperative psychological counseling, intraoperative body temperature and position management, and postoperative targeted recovery guidance. Conventional care follows routine clinical nursing procedures.
The study will assess differences in perioperative outcomes (such as anxiety, intraoperative hypothermia, postoperative nausea and vomiting, recovery time, and hospital stay) between the two groups, to provide evidence for optimizing nursing strategies for colorectal cancer surgery patients.
Detailed Description
Study Background: Laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery is a common treatment, but perioperative complications (e.g., hypothermia, nausea) and anxiety affect patient recovery. Precision nursing may improve these outcomes, but evidence from RCTs is limited.
Study Design: A parallel-group randomized controlled trial. 90 eligible patients are randomly assigned (1:1) to the precision nursing group or conventional care group.
Interventions:
Precision Nursing Group:
- Preoperative: 30-minute personalized psychological counseling + music therapy;
- Intraoperative: Real-time body temperature monitoring (maintaining ≥36°C) + dynamic position optimization;
- Postoperative: Individualized recovery guidance (early ambulation, dietary adjustment) based on patient condition.
Conventional Care Group: Routine clinical nursing (preoperative health education, intraoperative basic monitoring, postoperative standard care).
Outcome Measures:
Primary: Preoperative anxiety score (SAQ), intraoperative hypothermia rate, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) incidence, time to first flatus, length of hospital stay; Secondary: Postoperative complication rate, nursing satisfaction score.
Statistical Analysis
Data are analyzed using SPSS 26.0. Continuous variables are compared with t-tests, categorical variables with chi-square tests. A p-value <0.05 is considered statistically significant.

Arms & Interventions
Precision Nursing Group
Participants in this arm receive personalized perioperative care, including 30-minute preoperative psychological counseling, real-time intraoperative body temperature monitoring (maintaining ≥36°C), and postoperative individualized recovery guidance (early ambulation, dietary adjustment).
Intervention: Precision Nursing (Behavioral)
Conventional Care Group
Participants in this arm receive routine perioperative clinical nursing, including standard preoperative health education, basic intraoperative monitoring, and postoperative standard care without personalized interventions.
Intervention: Conventional Clinical Nursing (Behavioral)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Preoperative anxiety score
Time Frame: 1 day before surgery
Anxiety level of participants is evaluated using a validated Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). The scale consists of 20 items, with total scores ranging from 20 to 80 points. A higher score indicates a more severe level of preoperative anxiety.
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
