UNASSIGNED: This research with gastrointestinal cancer patients analyzed the expected outcomes of nursing interventions on a) patient adherence to treatment; b) patient satisfaction with nursing care; and c) health of body conditions such as lung function.
UNASSIGNED: All patients (60 individuals) who underwent chemotherapy at The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, were divided into two equal groups. Group 1 received planned care and Group 2 received evidence-based nursing interventions.
UNASSIGNED: The results showed that treatment adherence was higher in Group 2 than in the control group (p = 0.01). In addition, there was a higher rating by patients for the quality of nursing care (p = 0.01), as well as a higher score obtained for lung function (p = 0.01). Treatment adherence resulted in a decrease in the secondary infection rate in Group 2 (p = 0.05).
UNASSIGNED: The results showed that quality nursing intervention is effective for lung function improvement, stress level reduction, treatment plans, and a reduction of secondary infections.

The analysis of deficiencies of organization of dispensary observation detected by the original study permitted to develop corresponding eradication measures within the framework of natural experiment. The experiment was implemented on the basis of the clinical diagnostic Center № 3 of the Moscow Health Care Department. The evaluation of measures was carried out by means of comparing criteria of efficiency of dispensary work prior and after implementation of mentioned measures. At the 18th month of measures implementation decreasing of average number of emergency hospitalization, average number of visits for acute care, percentage of patients mentioning exacerbation was established. Alternatively, increasing of percentage of patients registered for dispensarization during 10 weeks after diagnosis establishment, pending reception in waiting list lesser than 20 minutes and also patients of Dispensary groups underwent adequate medical examination, knowing expected results of treatment, treatment scheme and time of next planned visit addressing within planned terms with prevention purpose was established too.
