Abstract
Background:
Recent studies have reported that perioperative nursing intervention (PNI) plays important roles in the outcomes of prostate cancer (PC) patients undergoing laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP). This study aimed to further investigate the role of educational nursing intervention in PNI on the recovery of PC patients with LRP.
Methods:
A total of 98 PC patients who underwent LRP were enrolled in this study. These patients were randomly divided into control (n = 49) and experimental (n = 49). Both groups received routine PNI, while the experimental group also received personalised PNI with enhanced educational nursing interventions. The study compared blood loss during surgery, surgery success rate, clinical signs of intestinal motility, postoperative hospital stay and postoperative complications between these two groups.
Results:
Both the control and experimental groups achieved a 100% surgery success rate. The experimental group experienced significantly less blood loss. Moreover, the recovery of intestinal function was faster, and the postoperative hospital stay was shorter in the experimental group. Furthermore, the incidence of postoperative complications was lower in the experimental group.
Conclusion:
Our findings confirmed the importance of enhanced educational nursing interventions in personalised perioperative nursing care for PC patients undergoing LRP.
