Abstract
Background: Surgery is the gold standard for gallstone treatment. Nevertheless, the complications associated with the surgical procedure can exert diverse and adverse impacts on patients' health and quality of life to varying extents. Hence, it is essential to offer perioperative care to patients undergoing gallstone surgery.
Aim: To examine the impact of perioperative comprehensive nursing on pain intensity, complication rates, and patient comfort in individuals undergoing gallstone surgery.
Methods: From February 2022 to February 2024, 195 patients who underwent gallstone surgery at Sanmen People's Hospital were selected and divided into two groups: A control group receiving routine nursing care (95 patients) and a research group receiving perioperative comprehensive nursing (100 patients). Key postoperative recovery indicators, including time to first postoperative anal exhaust, oral food intake, and ambulation, were observed, along with pain intensity (measured by the numeric rating scale), complication rate (bleeding, incision infection, recurrence), patient comfort (assessed using the visual analogue scale), and quality of life (measured by the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF).
Results: The research group showed significantly shorter times to first postoperative anal exhaust, oral intake, and ambulation. Moreover, numeric rating scale pain scores in the research group were markedly lower post-nursing, and the total complication rate was significantly reduced compared to the control group. Furthermore, comfort levels improved considerably in the research group, and World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF scores across the physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains were significantly higher compared to the control group following nursing care.
Conclusion: Perioperative comprehensive nursing effectively enhances postoperative recovery in patients undergoing gallstone surgery, reducing pain, lowering complications, and improving patient comfort and quality of life, which deserves clinical application.
