Analysis of the Role of Nursing Intervention in Operating Room in the Prevention of Incision Infection in Orthopedic Aseptic Surgery

Abstract

Objective: To explore and analyze the role of nursing in the operating room in the prevention of incision infection in aseptic orthopedic surgery. Methods: 68 patients that underwent aseptic orthopedic surgery in our hospital from January 2021 to December 2022. They were divided into a research group (n = 34) and a control group (n = 34) by the random number table method. The patients in the control group received conventional nursing intervention in the operating room, and the patients in the study group received the optimized and modified nursing intervention in the operating room; then, the related indicators of nursing intervention of the two groups were compared. Results: The incidence of incision infection in the study group was lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05); the average duration of surgery and length of stay the study group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05); the stress response indexes of patients in the study group were lower than those in the control group 24 hours after operation (P < 0.05); the degree of satisfaction of the patients in the study group to the services provided by the nursing staff was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: High-quality nursing intervention in the operating room for aseptic orthopedic surgery patients can significantly reduce the incidence of incision infection, reduce the stress response caused by surgery, shorten the duration of surgery and length of stay, and improve nursing satisfaction, which makes it worthy of popularization.
