Effects of motivational and early warning nursing on wound healing and socio-psychological adaptability in hepatobiliary surgical patients.

Background: Enhancing postoperative recovery is a critical goal in clinical practice and the application of innovative nursing models can significantly contribute to this objective.

Aim: To investigate the effects of motivational and early warning nursing interventions on wound healing and sociopsychological adaptability in patients undergoing hepatobiliary surgery.

Methods: A total of 160 patients who underwent surgical treatment in the hepatobiliary department of our hospital from January 2022 to June 2024 were selected and randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 80 patients in each group. The control group received routine nursing care, while the observation group received a combination of motivational and early warning nursing interventions. The wound healing status (class A, B, and C wound healing and healing time), social psychological adaptability, complications, postoperative recovery, and quality of life were compared between the two groups.

Results: The wound healing rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, while the wound healing time was shorter (P < 0.05). The social adaptability scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of complications was lower in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Postoperative recovery and quality of life were better in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05).

Conclusion: Motivational and early warning nursing interventions are beneficial for promoting wound healing in patients undergoing hepatobiliary surgery, reducing the incidence of complications and improving socio-psychological adaptability and postoperative quality of life. These interventions should be promoted in clinical nursing practice.
