Objective This study aimed to explore the effects of continuous nursing on the quality of life of breast cancer patients undergoing daytime chemotherapy in terms of physical, psychological, social, family and functional status under normal epidemic prevention and control. Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial design was used to include 80 patients with daytime chemotherapy for breast cancer, who were randomly divided into control group (receiving conventional care) and intervention group (receiving conventional care plus continuous care management). The evaluation indicators included physiological status, social and family status, emotional status, functional status and total score of quality of life, which were measured by specific scales at 1 month (T1), 3 months (T2) and 6 months (T3) after intervention. Results Compared with the control group, the physiological status, social and family status, emotional status, functional status and total score of life quality of patients in the intervention group were significantly increased at 3 months (T2) and 6 months (T3) after intervention (P < 0.05). Especially in the improvement of emotional status and functional status, continuous nursing intervention showed remarkable effects. Conclusion Under normal epidemic prevention and control, continuous nursing can significantly improve the quality of life of patients with daytime chemotherapy for breast cancer. This study shows that continuity of care is an effective nursing intervention that can provide comprehensive and continuous support to breast cancer patients and is important for improving the overall treatment and care experience of patients.
