The Effect of the Medical and Nursing Integration Model in the Care of Patients Undergoing Inguinal Hernia Surgery

Abstract

Objective: To explore the application effect of the care of patients with inguinal hernia surgery, medical and nursing integration model with a view to providing help for the optimization of clinical surgical care program. Methods: Seventy-eight inguinal hernia patients who underwent surgical treatment in a hospital during the period of December 2023 to November 2024 were selected and divided into a control group and a study group, each with 39 cases, using the mean score method. The control group was given the usual clinical surgical care model, and the observation group was given the medical and nursing integration model, and the nursing effects of the two groups were compared. Results: The postoperative pain level score of patients in the observation group (2.23 ± 0.52) was lower than that of the control group (3.86 ± 1.02); the gastrointestinal recovery time of patients in the observation group (23.12 ± 4.06h), and the time to get out of bed (15.42 ± 4.19d) were shorter than that of the control group (29.53 ± 3.47 h) and (20.85 ± 3.08 d), and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); postoperative sleep efficiency score (the observation group 5.12 ± 1.14), sleep disorder score (6.42 ± 1.29), time to sleep score (7.56 ± 1.57), and daytime function score (6.25 ± 1.19) in were significantly lower than those in the control group [(7.46 ± 1.29), (8.63 ± 1.41), (10.37 ± 1.38), and (8.49 ± 1.24), respectively], with the differences being statistically significant (P < 0.05).; the incidence of complications such as urinary retention, local hematoma, and incision infection during the treatment period of the patients in the observation group (2.56%) was significantly lower than that of the control group (20.51%), and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05); in the observation group, the patient care satisfaction (97.44%) was significantly higher than that of the control group (76.92%), and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The integrated model of medical care has significant advantages in the care of patients undergoing inguinal hernia surgery, which can effectively alleviate postoperative pain, shorten the gastrointestinal recovery time and the time to get out of bed, and at the same time significantly improve the quality of patient’s sleep, and reduce the risk of complications such as urinary retention, local hematomas, and incisional infections, to obtain a higher degree of satisfaction from patients, and it is recommended that it should be popularized and applied in other medical departments.
