Objective Under the guidance of timing theory,according to the needs of total knee replacement patients in different periods,a comprehensive nursing intervention plan is developed to optimize the quality of nursing and promote the early recovery of patients.Methods A total of 108 patients who were to undergo total knee arthroplasty in Huzhou First People's Hospital from June 2022 to June 2023 were selected and divided into control group and experimental group by random number table method,with 54 patients in each group.The control group was given routine nursing and follow-up,and the experimental group was given comprehensive nursing intervention based on timing theory for 6 months.The rehabilitation exercise compliance,exercise of self-care agency scale(ESCA)and hospital for special surgery(HSS)scores of the two groups were compared.Results The scores of rehabilitation exercise compliance(active learning com-pliance,psychological compliance and physical compliance)of experimental group were higher than those of control group at 6 months after operation(P<0.05).The dimension scores and total scores of self-care skills and health knowledge lev-el in ESCA were higher than those in control group(P<0.05).The scores of function,muscle strength,mobility and stability in HSS were(18.98±3.70)points,(9.44±2.11)points,(17.45±3.09)points,(9.34±2.07)pointsand(85.78±5.67)points,respectively,which were higher than those in the control group[(14.23±2.45)points,(7.37±1.56)points,(15.23±3.44)points,(7.90±1.43)points,(74.29±5.62)points,t=17.866,19.091,16.789,23.451,19.231,P<0.05].Conclusion Comprehensive nursing based on timing theory plays a positive role in impro-ving postoperative rehabilitation exercise compliance,enhancing self-care ability and improving knee function of total knee replacement patients.
