It provides a new reference for postoperative follow-up nursing of gastrointestinal surgery patients.
Research methods
In this study, data of patients with inflammatory bowel disease in gastrointestinal surgery were retrospectively analyzed and grouped according to nursing methods. Then, independent sample t test, paired sample t test and χ2 test were used to conduct statistical analysis on the general information, disease coping style, disease awareness, quality of life, self-care ability, disease activity and compliance of the two groups of patients. The characteristics of retrospective study are that it is easier to obtain case data by exploring the causes through the results.
Research results
The follow-up program based on the Omaha system has a remarkable nursing effect, with better improvements in patients’ disease coping style, disease awareness, quality of life, self-care ability, disease activity and compliance, providing a new nursing method for postoperative follow-up care of gastrointestinal surgery patients, and further prospective exploration is needed to further explore the effectiveness of inflammation modification nursing method.
Research conclusions
The postoperative coping style of gastrointestinal surgery patients can affect their prognosis and quality of life, so clinical nursing should pay attention to improving the coping style of patients and strengthening the psychological nursing management. The follow-up plan based on the Omaha System has a good nursing effect, and the best nursing plan should be given priority in clinic.
