Objective To observe the clinical effect of dietary nursing in patients with head and neck tumors during radiotherapy, and discuss the nutritional status and adverse reactions of patients. Methods 100 patients with head and neck tumor treated in our hospital in the past five years were retrospectively analyzed as observation samples. According to the order of admission, the first 50 cases were taken as control group (routine nursing), and the last 50 cases were taken as observation group (diet nursing + routine nursing). Data of nutritional indexes, immune function, adverse reactions and quality of life of patients in the two groups after different interventions were collected and analyzed to observe the difference in results. Results The nutritional index data and immune function data of the observation group were superior to the control group, the incidence of adverse reactions was less than that of the control group, and the quality of life data had a higher advantage than that of the control group, and the P value of comparison between the groups reached <0.05, indicating statistical significance. Conclusion Diet nursing can significantly alleviate malnutrition in patients with head and neck tumor during radiotherapy, improve immune function, reduce adverse reactions and improve quality of life, which is feasible and worthy of vigorous promotion and wide application.
