Objective To analyze the impact of clinical nursing pathways on the quality of life of lung cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Methods A total of 92 patients with lung cancer who received chemotherapy in our hospital from October 2022 to October 2023 were selected and divided equally into two groups, with 46 cases in each group. The control group received routine care, and the observation group received clinical care. The negative emotions, complications and quality of life of the two groups of patients were evaluated and compared. Results Compared with the scores of Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), the observation group after intervention was lower than the control group, and there was significant significance between the two groups (P<0.05). Comparing the total incidence rate of complications, the observation group was significantly lower than the control group, and there was significant significance between the two groups (P<0.05). Comparing the scores of the quality of life scale for cancer patients (EORTC QLQ-C30), the observation group after the intervention was higher than the control group, and there was significant significance between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion The clinical nursing path for patients with lung cancer chemotherapy can alleviate their negative emotions, reduce the risk of complications, and help improve their quality of life.
