Objective To explore the effect of the "H2H" nutrition management model on the nutritional status and negative emotions of gastric cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Methods 82 gastric cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy were divided into a control group and an observation group, with 41 cases in each group, based on their wards. The control group received conventional nutrition care management, while the observation group received the "H2H" nutrition management model based on patient-reported outcomes. The PG-SGA (Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment), serum nutritional indicators, and anxiety and depression scores of the two groups were compared. Results After 60 days of "H2H" nutrition management intervention, the PG-SGA score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05); albumin and hemoglobin levels were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05); and the anxiety score of the observation group was lower (P < 0.05). Conclusion Implementing "H2H" nutrition management based on patient-reported outcomes for gastric cancer patients during chemotherapy is beneficial for improving their nutritional status, alleviating their anxiety and depression, and enhancing their quality of life. It is worthy of clinical recommendation.
