To investigate the effect of the continuous nursing intervention model on postoperative fatigue levels and quality of life in breast cancer patients. A total of 112 patients with breast cancer who received radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the oncology department of our hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were collected and randomly divided into the observation group (n=56) and the control group (n=56). The general clinical data of the two groups were comparable. Patients in the control group were instructed with conventional nursing interventions, while those in the observation group were given continuous nursing management in addition to conventional nursing care, and their mastery of nursing management health, quality of life and changes in cancer-related fatigue status were assessed by the selfadministered questionnaires, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30, and the revised piper fatigue scale, respectively. The results showed that only 35 (62.50 %) patients in the control group were completely compliance, 4 (7.14 %) were partially compliance, and 17 (30.36 %) were non-compliance, while 48 (85.71 %) were completely compliance, 6 (10.71%) were partially compliance, and 2 (3.58 %) were non-compliance in the observation group, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p<0.05). After nursing, the quality of life scores of patients in the control group and the observation group were significantly improved, and the revised piper fatigue scale scores decreased significantly, the quality of life of the patients and the cancer related fatigue in the observation group was more significantly improved than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). In the nursing intervention of breast cancer patients, the continuous intervention model can improve the life and mental state of breast cancer patients significantly, to improve their quality of life, alleviate the symptoms of cancer-related fatigue, and promote the rehabilitation of breast cancer patients.
