Objective To analyze the effect of nursing intervention based on comfort theory in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery. Methods A total of 92 patients with lung cancer who underwent three-hole minimally invasive surgery in Chengdu Third Peoples Hospital from November 2022 to November 2023 were selected and divided into two groups with 46 cases in each group by random number table method. The control group received routine perioperative nursing, and the observation group received comfort nursing. After one week of intervention, the comfort level and emotional state of the two groups were evaluated. Results Compared with the control group, the scores of simplified Comfort Scale (GCQ) in observation group increased after intervention, and the scores of self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) decreased (P < 0.05). Conclusion Nursing intervention based on comfort theory can improve comfort and relieve negative emotion in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.
