| Core Tip |
This study highlights the clinical value of integrating a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospice care system into the management of patients with advanced cancer. The results demonstrate that TCM-based interventions significantly alleviate depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders compared to conventional hospice care. By incorporating psychological support, TCM nursing techniques, and individualized symptom relief strategies, this approach offers a holistic and culturally resonant model of palliative care. The findings provide a practical reference for nursing programs and emphasize the potential of TCM hospice care in improving quality of life and emotional well-being in terminally ill cancer patients. |
