Abstract
BACKGROUND

Uterine fibroids, are prevalent benign tumors affecting women of reproductive age. However, surgical treatment is often necessary for symptomatic hysteromyoma cases. This study examines the impact of humanized nursing care on reducing negative emotions and postoperative complications in patients receiving hysteromyoma surgery.

AIM

To investigate the impact of humanized nursing care on patients undergoing hysteromyoma surgery.

METHODS

Among patients who underwent hysteromyoma surgery at the Fudan University Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, 200 were randomly assigned to either the control group (n = 100) or the humanized nursing care group (n = 100). The control group received traditional nursing care, while the humanized nursing care group received a comprehensive care plan encompassing psychological support, pain management, and tailored rehabilitation programs. In addition, anxiety and depression levels were assessed using the hospital anxiety and depression scale preoperatively and postoperatively. Postoperative complications were evaluated during follow-up assessments and compared between both groups.

RESULTS

The humanized nursing care group demonstrated a significant decrease in anxiety and depression levels compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The rate of postoperative complications, including infection, bleeding, and deep venous thrombosis, was also markedly lower in the humanized nursing care group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Humanized nursing care can effectively alleviate negative emotions and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications in patients undergoing hysteromyoma surgery. This approach should be considered a crucial component of perioperative care for these patients. Further research may be needed to explore additional benefits and long-term outcomes of implementing humanized nursing care in this population.

Core Tip: Humanized nursing care can effectively alleviate negative emotions and reduce postoperative complications in patients undergoing hysteromyoma surgery, as observed in this study. The approach included psychological support, pain management, and tailored rehabilitation programs. Moreover, the study highlights the importance of adopting a patient-centered approach to care that emphasizes effective communication, shared decision-making, and establishing a therapeutic relationship between nurses and patients. The findings suggest that healthcare providers should consider humanized nursing care as an essential component of perioperative care for these patients. Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects of implementing humanized nursing care and its additional benefits in diverse patient populations in various surgical settings.
