Objective To explore the effect of clinical nursing intervention using end-of-life care in advanced lung cancer patients. Methods 88 advanced lung cancer patients admitted to our hospital from December 2022 to December 2023 were selected. They were divided into a control group (conventional nursing) and a study group (end-of-life care) with 44 cases each according to nursing methods. The psychological status, pain, and quality of life of the two groups were compared before and after intervention. Results Comparing the SAS, SDS, and VAS scores of the two nursing groups, the study group showed lower scores than the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in SAS, SDS, and VAS scores between the two groups before implementing nursing intervention (P>0.05). Moreover, the DSQL scores of the study group patients were significantly lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion In clinical practice, end-of-life care for advanced lung cancer patients can significantly improve their psychological state, alleviate pain, help them improve their quality of life, and actively face treatment.
