Objective To analyze the effect of personalized dietary care in the care of esophageal cancer patients. Methods 150 esophageal cancer patients admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to January 2022 were selected as the study subjects. They were randomly divided into a control group and a study group, with 75 patients in each group. The control group received routine dietary care, while the study group received personalized dietary care. The nutritional indicators of the two groups of patients before and after nursing were compared. The quality of life of the two groups of patients before and after nursing was evaluated using the esophageal cancer patient supplement scale (QLQ-OES18), and the incidence of complications and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results Before dietary care, there was no statistically significant difference in nutritional indicators and scores between the two groups of patients (P>0.05); After dietary care, the albumin (ALB), prealbumin (PAB), total protein (TP) indicators, and QLQ-OES18 scores in the study group were higher than those in the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). The incidence of cough, nausea and vomiting, abdominal distension and acid reflux heartburn in the study group was lower than that in the control group, and the nursing satisfaction was better than that in the control group, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). Conclusion Applying personalized dietary care to the care of esophageal cancer patients can effectively improve their nutritional status, enhance their quality of life, and have positive significance in promoting disease recovery. It has promotion and application value.
