Abstract:【Objective】 To investigate the effects of nutritional support intervention combined with staged standardized psychological support on patients undergoing radiotherapy with head and neck tumors. 【Methods】 A total of 112 patients with head and neck tumors receiving radiotherapy were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 56 patients in each group. The control group received routine interventions, while the observation group received nutritional support intervention combined with staged standardized psychological support. Nutritional indicators [prealbumin (PA), albumin (ALB), hemoglobin (Hb), and transferrin (TRF)], psychological status [Mini-Mental Adjustment to Cancer Scale (Mini-MAC-29) scores], quality of life [Quality of Life Instruments for Cancer Patients-Head and Neck Cancer (QLICP-HN) scores], and the incidence of oral mucositis were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention. 【Results】 After the intervention, levels of PA, ALB, Hb, and TRF in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The Mini-MAC-29 scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05), while the QLICP-HN scores were significantly higher (P<0.05). In addition, the overall incidence of oral mucositis in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Nutritional support intervention combined with staged standardized psychological support can effectively improve nutritional status, psychological status, and quality of life in patients with head and neck tumors undergoing radiotherapy, and reduce the incidence of oral mucositis.
