Objective To compare the effects of narrative nursing on the fear of cancer recurrence and psychological distress in patients with head and neck tumor radiotherapy. Methods 60 patients treated in oncology department were selected as research objects and divided into two groups (routine group and study group) by digital research method. The routine group adopted routine nursing, and the study group adopted narrative nursing, so as to do a good job in influencing the fear of cancer recurrence and psychological pain. Results The overall score of FCR in the study group was 47.34±1.03 and 24.36±2.38 points respectively before and after intervention, and the score effect was better in the study group before and after intervention (p<0.05). The comparison of psychological pain scores before and after intervention in the study group showed that the scores of patients in the study group before and after intervention were 5.54±1.30 points and 2.40±0.25 points respectively, and the effect of the scores after intervention in the study group was better than that in the conventional group (p < 0.05). The scores of patients with head and neck tumor before and after treatment in experimental group were 71.89±2.25 and 92.46±2.46, respectively, and the scores of patients in experimental group were significantly improved (t=0.013, 5.256) after treatment, P<0.05. Conclusion Narrative nursing for patients with head and neck tumor radiotherapy has better effect on the fear of cancer recurrence and psychological pain.
