Abstract

As a key treatment for patients with head and neck tumors, radiotherapy has a significant clinical effect. However, the occurrence of oral mucositis after radiotherapy seriously affects the prognosis of patients. This aims to further improve the cluster nursing system and achieve the prevention and intervention effect of oral mucositis in patients with head and neck tumors and explores the respondent’s perception of head and neck malignancies and attitudes toward cluster oral care nursing. Results show that respondents have a more positive perception of head and neck malignancies and cluster oral care, believing that the cluster care system can effectively prevent oral mucositis, provide accurate oral care information, reduce the severity of oral mucositis, and improve the quality of life of patients.
