Objective To explore the impact of early rehabilitation nursing on postoperative recovery of esophageal cancer patients. Methods Sixty patients with esophageal cancer admitted from June 2023 to June 2024 were selected as the study subjects and randomly divided into a control group (n=30, receiving routine care) and an experimental group (n=30, receiving early rehabilitation care) using a random number table method. Compare the dietary function, nutritional status, length of hospital stay, and quality of life between two groups of patients. Results The dietary function, nutritional status, and quality of life of the experimental group were better than those of the control group, and the differences between the groups were statistically significant (P<0.05); The hospitalization time of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Early rehabilitation nursing has a positive impact on postoperative esophageal cancer patients, promoting their recovery and improving their quality of life. It is worth promoting and applying in clinical practice.
