Clinical Nursing Observation on Treating Cough in Lung Cancer of Qi and Yin Deficiency Type with Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupoint Application
Objective: To analyze the effect of traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application in the care of patients with lung cancer and cough due to Qi and Yin deficiency. Methods: 68 patients with lung cancer and cough were selected for data analysis in our hospital from June 2024 to May 2025. They were divided into groups using the random number table method, each with 34 patients. The research group was treated with routine nursing + traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application, and the control group was treated with routine nursing. The data between the groups were compared. Results: Compared with the control group, the cough symptom score of the research group after nursing was significantly lower, the total nursing effectiveness was significantly higher, the sleep quality score after nursing was significantly lower, and the life quality score after nursing was significantly higher, P < 0.05; comparing the cough symptom score, sleep quality score, and life quality score before nursing between the two groups, P > 0.05. Conclusion: The therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application in the care of patients with lung cancer and cough due to Qi and Yin deficiency is ideal.
