Abstract: Objective To explore the preventive effect of high-quality nursing intervention on upper limb lymphedema in breast cancer patients after operation. Methods One hundred and fifty breast cancer patients in Chifeng Hospital from March 2020 to September 2021 were retrospectively selected and divided into two groups according to nursing methods, with 75 cases in each group. The upper limb lymphedema, nursing effect, quality of life, negative psychology and nursing satisfaction of the two groups were statistically analyzed. Results The incidence of upper limb lymphedema in high quality nursing intervention group was lower than that in routine nursing intervention group (P<0.05); The excellent and good nursing rate of patients in the high-quality nursing intervention group was higher than that in the routine nursing intervention group (P<0.05); After nursing intervention, the scores of material life, physical function, mental health and social function of patients in both groups were higher than those before nursing intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); Before nursing intervention, the scores of material life, physical function, mental health and social function were not statistical significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05). After nursing intervention, the scores of material life, physical function, mental health and social function of patients in high-quality nursing intervention group were higher than those in routine nursing intervention group, and the difference was significant (P<0.05). Before nursing, there was no statistical significant difference in the proportion of drug resistance, fear, inferiority and other negative psychology between the two groups (P>0.05). After nursing, the proportion of drug resistance, fear, inferiority and other negative psychology in the evidence-based nursing group was lower than that in the routine nursing group, and the difference was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with routine nursing intervention, postoperative high-quality nursing intervention for breast cancer patients can effectively prevent lymphedema of upper limbs, and has better nursing effect. It can effectively improve patients' quality of life, reduce patients' negative psychology and improve patients' nursing satisfaction, which is worthy of clinical application.
