ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of meditation training on postoperative pain, anxiety and reduce the incidence of constipation in patients with lower limb fracture. Methods The enrolled 106 patients with lower extremity fractures were randomly divided into the observation group and control group 53 cases respectively according to the odd even method. The control group was implemented with fracture surgery routine care, while the observation group was implemented with meditation training on the basis of the control group, the two groups were compared by postoperative pain score, anxiety, constipation, and satisfaction. Results Before intervention, the postoperative pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores and anxiety scores of the two groups were not significantly different (P>0.05). After intervention, the postoperative pain scores of observation group and control group were (2.06 ± 0.85) points and (4.15 ± 0.62) points respectively, the difference was statistically significant (t = 4.103, P <0.05). The anxiety scores of observation group and control group were (28.95 ± 3.83) points and (56.13 ± 3.52) points respectively, the difference was statistically significant (t= 2.353, P < 0.05). The first defecation time and the cases number of observation group patients were as follows:day 1st:20.75%(11/53), day 2nd: 52.83% (28/53), day 3rd: 18.87% (10/53), day 4th: 7.55% (4/53). While the data of the control group were day 1st: 1.89% (1/53), day 2nd: 26.42% (14/53), day 3rd 37.74% (20/53), day 4th:33.96%(18/53), the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=4.022-5.629, P<0.05). The satisfaction of observation group and control group patients were 94.34%(50/53), 77.36%(41/53) respectively, the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.543, P < 0.05). Conclusions Meditation training can effectively reduce postoperative pain, reduce the incidence of anxiety and constipation, and improve the satisfaction of patients to nursing service, and promote the recovery of patients after surgery.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study influence of nursing intervention on pain and satisfaction degree of pa-tients after lower limb fracture. Methods 200 patients of lower limb fracture were divided into the experi-mental group and the control group randomly with IOO patients in each group. Routine nursing was given to the contrtol group and special nursing intervention besides routine nursing to the experimental group. Pain and sat-isfaction degree was compared between the two groups and the results underwent χ2 test. Results The pain degree in the experimental group was much less than that of the control group, the satisfaction degree of the ex-perimental group was much higher than that of the control group. Conclusions Nursing intervention can re-liege pain degree of patients with lower limb fracture,make them go through postoperation pain stage and in-crease satisfaction degree with nursing.
