Application of narrative nursing in pediatric preputial dilation and separation
Objective To explore the application effect of narrative nursing in pediatric preputial dila-tion and separation.Methods A total of 240 children aged 5-12 years who underwent preputial dilation and separation in the outpatient department of a tertiary children's hospital from July to August 2023 were select-ed.Among them,120 patients admitted in July 2023 were assigned to the control group,and 120 patients ad-mitted in August 2023 were assigned to the experimental group.The control group received routine nursing,while the experimental group received narrative nursing in addition to routine nursing.The anxiety level,post-operative pain level,and complication rate were compared between the two groups.Results The anxiety score[(30.16±6.7)points],postoperative pain score[2.0(2.0,4.0)points],and complication rate(12.5%)in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group[(32.48±8.84)points,8.0(5.0,12.0)points,and 30.0%,respectively],with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of narrative nursing in pediatric preputial dilation and separation can alleviate anxiety and pain of children,reduce the complication rate,improve surgical experience,and increase the success rate of surgery,which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
