Effect of Personalized Nursing on Postoperative Recovery and Quality of Life in Elderly Patients with Inguinal Hernia Treated by Tension-free Her-nia Repair
Objective To investigate the effect of personalized nursing in tension-free hernia repair for elderly pa-tients with inguinal hernia,and its effect on postoperative recovery and quality of life.Methods Seventy elderly pa-tients with inguinal hernia who received tension-free hernia repair from Nantong Haimen District Psychiatric Hospi-tal from January 2019 to June 2023 were randomly selected as the study objects and grouped according to random number table method.The control group(n=35)received conventional nursing,and the observation group(n=35)re-ceived personalized nursing.The postoperative recovery,psychological state,complications and quality of life of the two groups were compared and analyzed.Results Compared with the control group,the time of getting out of bed(15.63±1.38)h,the time of eating(16.26±1.48)h and the time of anal exhaust(18.47±1.65)h in observation group were shorter,and the differences were statistically significant(t=14.941,22.887,15.387,all P<0.05).Compared with before nursing,the scores of anxiety and depression of two groups were lower after nursing,and the scores of emotion in observation group were lower,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).The complication rate of the observation group(5.71%)was lower than that of the control group(22.86%),and the difference was statisti-cally significant(χ2=4.200,P<0.05).Compared with before nursing,the scores of all dimensions of quality of life of patients after nursing were increased,and the scores of all dimensions of observation group were higher,and the dif-ferences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Conclusion The application of personalized nursing in tension-free hernia repair for elderly patients with inguinal hernia can reduce the complications of patients,accelerate the process of postoperative physical and mental rehabilitation,and improve the quality of life.
