Methods The start time of this study was November 2023 and the end time was December 2023. The study lasted for two months. A total of 60 patients were divided into the control group and the experimental group by means of random balance, with 30 patients in each group. The control group received routine nursing care while the experimental group received health education based on quality control circle. The psychological resilience, mastery of catheter-related knowledge and catheter-related complications of the two groups were analyzed. Results The mental resilience level of the experimental group was better, the mastery of catheter-related knowledge was higher, the catheter-related complications were reduced, and the rate of unplanned extubation was decreased, P<0.05. Conclusion Providing health education based on quality control circle for thoracic catheters after lung cancer surgery can improve patients psychological resilience, improve patients mastery of catheter-related knowledge, and reduce the influence of catheter-related complications.
