Research motivation

Perioperative nursing of children with inguinal hernia operation. Clinical need to explore more effective nursing methods to improve the prognosis of children with inguinal hernia surgery. The significance of this study was to affirm the effectiveness of new nursing methods for children with inguinal hernia, encourage clinical teams to continue to explore better nursing methods for children with inguinal hernia, and promote the improvement and innovation of nursing programs.

Research objectives

The main objective was to compare the nursing effect of different nursing methods and observe the advantages of multidisciplinary collaborative enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) nursing combined with family care in perioperative nursing of children. The combination of multidisciplinary collaborative ERAS nursing combined with family care can improve the rehabilitation process, pain, stress and nursing satisfaction of children with inguinal hernia, which proves that this nursing method has good nursing effect. It provides a new reference for perioperative nursing of inguinal hernia in children.

Research methods

The clinical data of the children were analyzed retrospectively and grouped according to nursing methods. Then, one-way analysis of variance, paired sample t-test and χ2 test were used to statistically analyze the general data, postoperative rehabilitation indicators, pain scores, stress indicators, occurrence of symptoms and nursing satisfaction of the three groups of patients. The feature of retrospective study is to explore the cause through the results, and it is easier to obtain the case data.

Research results

Multidisciplinary collaborative ERAS nursing combined with family care has a remarkable nursing effect, and has a good improvement in postoperative rehabilitation, pain, post-operative stress and other aspects, providing a new nursing method for perioperative nursing of children with inguinal hernia, which needs further prospective exploration. The effectiveness of the nursing method was further verified.

Research conclusions

Children are prone to bad mood after traumatic surgery, which aggravates postoperative pain. Therefore, attention should be paid to the influence of nursing methods on children’s mood. The nursing effect of multidisciplinary collaborative ERAS nursing combined with family care is better, and the nursing scheme with better effect should be preferred in clinic.

Research perspectives

Nursing can improve the physiological indicators of children, and the specific influence on the psychological state of children needs to be further explored.
