Objective To analyzed the application value of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) characteristic nursing for elderly patients with advanced cancer. Methods Seventy-two elderly patients with advanced malignant tumor who were treated in the hospital between January 2020 and June 2021 were selected as the research objects and divided into control group (n=36) and study group (n=36) according to the random number table method. The control group received routing nursing, while the study group was given TCM nursing techniques based on routing nursing. The pain degree, mental states, sleep quality and quality of life during treatment were measured. Results Scores of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of pain, Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were decreased in both two groups after intervention, and scores of VAS, SAS and SDS in the study group were lower than those in the control group (P<0. 01). The Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) score was decreased in both two groups after intervention, and PSQI score in the study group was lower than those in the control group (P<0. 01). Subscale scores of European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) core QOQ-C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) were increased in both two groups after intervention, and subscale scores in the study group were higher than those in the control group (P<0. 01). Conclusion Elderly patients with advanced malignant tumor suffer from physical and psychological distress. Application of TCM nursing is helpful to relieve the cancer-related pain and negative emotions and improve the sleep quality and quality of life among elderly patients with advanced cancer.
