Method:A total of 86 cases of patients performed abdominal malignant tumor operation were randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 43 cases in each group. Patients in the two groups were given enteral nutrition after the operation, patients in the control group were performed routine nursing, based on this, patients in the observation group were performed intensive health education. Before and after the intervention, the anxiety degree and depression degree of the two groups were evaluated by the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS)，The incidence rates of complications of enteral nutrition of patients in the two groups were observed. Result:There was no significant differences of SAS and SDS scores between the two groups before intervention（P>0.05）.After the intervention, scores of SAS and SDS of the two groups were significantly lower than those before the intervention (P <0.01), and scores of SAS and SDS of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control groupy. The difference between the two groups had statistical significance (P <0.05); The incidence rate of complications of enteral nutrition of patients in the observation group(6.98%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (25.58%) (p<0.05). Conclusion: Performing intensive health education in combination with enteral nutrition in patients with abdominal malignant tumor is conductive to relieving unhealthy emotions of patients, improving tolerance and compliance of enteral nutrition and reducing the incidence of complications.
