Abstract
Backgrounds: Appendicitis (AP) is a prevalent and sudden disease, and although surgery can be effective in treating it, post-surgical care is of great importance in improving the patient's recovery.
Objective: To analyze the impact of Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA)-based nursing on patients with AP after surgery.
Methods: A total of 104 patients with AP who received treatment in Fuyang Shi Hospital of TCM from December 2021 to February 2023 were enrolled and randomly divided into a control group (n = 52) who received routine nursing and a research group (n = 52) who receive FMEA-based nursing. The time to recovery of bowel sounds, time to defecation by anus, time to anal exhaust, and length of stay were statistically analyzed in both groups after surgery. Pain, sleep, and psychological status of patients before and after surgery were assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and self-rating anxiety scale/self-rating depression scale (SAS/SDS). Patients' satisfaction with nursing was also investigated, and the incidence of postoperative complications was recorded.
Results: After surgery, the research group showed shorter time to recovery of bowel sounds, time to defecation by anus, time to anal exhaust, and length of stay, and lower scores of VAS, PSQI, SAS, and SDS than those of the control group (P < .05). As indicated by the satisfaction survey, compared with the control group, the research group showed a larger number of patients who were very satisfied with nursing and a smaller number of patients who thought their nursing should be improved; the incidence of postoperative complications was also lower in the research group (P < .05).
Conclusion: For patients with AP, FMEA-based nursing improves their postoperative recovery, alleviates their pain, and ameliorates their sleep quality, which is of high clinical application value.
期刊介绍:
Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field.
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
