Purpose: This study set out to explore the therapeutic effects of human-oriented fine nursing intervention on patients undergoing laparoscopic radical nephrectomy and its influence on patients' quality of life.
Methods: A total of 120 patients who underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy in Sheng Jing Hospital of China Medical University from January 2019 to January 2020 were randomized into group A (n = 60) and group B (n = 60) by the random table method. Group B was treated with routine nursing while group A was additionally treated with human-oriented fine nursing. Meanwhile, the study compared the two groups in terms of vital signs, postoperative recovery time, visual analogue scale (VAS), sleep quality (SQ), adverse psychological response score, and quality of life (QOL).
Results: According to our findings, patients of group A had significantly lower heart rate, blood pressure, and adverse psychological response scores compared to those of group B; the postoperative recovery time of group A was considerably shorter than that of group B; the VAS scores of group A at 3 and 6 days after surgery were markedly lower than those of group B; group A had a remarkably higher number of patients with excellent postoperative SQ than group B; and group A saw substantially higher QOL scores of patients compared to group B.
Conclusion: Results of this study suggested that fine nursing intervention based on humanistic care for patients undergoing laparoscopic radical nephrectomy can improve the physical condition of patients, refine their mentalities, and improve their sleep quality, thus enhancing their quality of life and accelerating the recovery process. Therefore, this nursing mode is worthy of promotion and application in clinical practice.
