Objective This study aims to examine the efficacy of integrating high-quality nursing care with the use of a high-frequency vibration sputum discharge instrument in the management of pneumonia in cancer patients following radiotherapy. Methods Sixty patients diagnosed with tumor-related pneumonia, admitted between December 2023 and December 2024, were selected as participants for this study. The participants were randomly assigned to either the control group or the experimental group using a random number table method, with each group comprising 30 individuals (n=30). The control group received standard care, which included routine nebulization therapy, effective cough guidance, medication management, and other conventional interventions. In contrast, the experimental group received an enhanced nursing care protocol, which incorporated high-quality nursing services in conjunction with a high-frequency vibration sputum clearance device. The study aimed to compare the pulmonary function and quality of life between the two groups before and after the nursing interventions. Results Following the nursing intervention, the lung function index in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Additionally, the WHOQOL-BREF scale scores for patients in the study group exceeded those of the control group across all dimensions (P<0.05). The research results require changes in indicators. Conclusion The integration of high-quality nursing care with the use of high-frequency vibration sputum discharge instruments in patients with tumor-associated pneumonia demonstrates significant efficacy, notably enhancing pulmonary function and improving patients quality of life.
