Objective. The purpose of this study is to explore the clinical value of high-quality nursing in concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy after glioma surgery and its influence on the stress indicators such as cortisol (Cor), adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH), and C-reactive protein (CRP). Methods. A total of 94 glioma patients diagnosed and treated in our hospital were randomly divided into a research group and a control group, with 47 cases in each group. Both groups of patients were given concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy. On this basis, patients in the control group were given basic care, while patients in the research group were given a combination of basic care and high-quality care. The nursing satisfaction and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared. The pain degree and the levels of stress indicators Cor, ACTH, and CRP at different time points were compared between the two groups. The sleep quality, bad mood, and quality of life before and after nursing were compared between the two groups. Results. After nursing, the nursing satisfaction of the research group (95.74%) was higher than that of the control group (80.85%), and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (X2 = 11.678,

). There was no significant difference between patients in the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score and the levels of stress indicators Cor, ACTH, and CRP at the T1 time point between the two groups

. With the passage of time, the levels of Cor and ACTH of the two groups showed an upward trend. At T4, the increased levels of Cor and ACTH in the research group were less than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant

. The VAS scores and CRP levels of the two groups showed an upward trend at T1 and T2 and a downward trend at T3 and T4. And, at T4, the decrease in CRP level of the research group was greater than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant

. Before nursing, there was no statistically significant difference between two groups of patients in the time to fall asleep, sleep time, number of awakenings, SAS score, self-rating depression scale (SDS) score, quality of life index scores, and total scores

After nursing, the control group had 5 cases of gastrointestinal reactions, 7 cases of bone marrow suppression, 6 cases of leukopenia, 6 cases of thrombocytopenia, and 10 cases of dizziness and nausea. In the research group, there were 1 case of gastrointestinal reaction, 2 cases of bone marrow suppression, 1 case of leukopenia, 1 case of thrombocytopenia, and 2 cases of dizziness and nausea. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant

. Conclusion. Glioma patients are given high-quality care during the course of concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which can reduce the pain and bad mood of the patient, reduce the stress response of the patient, and improve the quality of sleep and the quality of life of the patient, thereby improving nursing satisfaction and patients compliance, reducing adverse reactions, and having a good prognosis.
