Objective To explore the effect of continuous nursing on lung transplant patients at home based on humanistic care. Methods According to hospitalization order, patients who received lung transplantation in our hospital from January 2016 to October 2020 were divided into a control group and a nursing group. The control group was treated with routine lung transplantation education and regular follow-up after discharge, and the nursing group received humanistic care during follow-up, health education at discharge, cultural exchange activities, and home care plans. After discharge, the self-management ability at home, medication adherence and satisfaction of home care between the two groups were campared. Results A total of 60 patients were included in the study. There were 23 patients in the control group, including 16 males and 7 females, with an average age of 58.70±11.00 years. There were 37 pateints in the nursing group, including 25 males and 12 females, with an average age of 57.90±13.20 years. The scores of self-management ability at home of the nursing group (self-concept 27.41±2.37 points vs. 21.78±3.54 points; self-care responsibility 20.73±1.63 points vs. 16.83±2.79 points; self-care skills 41.46±3.77 points vs. 28.26±4.11 points; health knowledge level 57.95±4.10 points vs. 44.87±5.79 points) were higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The medication adherence (7.47±0.46 points vs. 6.87±0.28 points) and satisfaction of home care (23.80±1.20 points vs. 20.50±1.90 points) in the nursing group were higher than those in the control group (both P<0.05). Conclusion Continuous nursing based on humanistic care for lung transplant patients can effectively improve the self-management ability, medication adherence and nursing satisfaction of patients after discharge.
