Behavioral Training with Nursing Intervention Improves Postoperative Rehabilitation and Nutritional Status of Elderly Patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Abstract

The effect of behavioral training and nursing intervention on the postoperative recovery and nutritional status of elderly patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia was examined. The frequency and duration of bladder spasm episodes and the incidence of adverse effects were lower in the patients receiving research than in the control group (P < 0.05). The self-rating anxiety scale and the self-rating depression scale decreased in both groups after the nursing intervention and were lower in the research group than in the control group (P < 0.05), while the General Quality of Life Assessment Questionnaire scores increased in both groups and were higher in the research group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the level of satisfaction was significantly higher in the research group than the control group (P < 0.05). Finally, the number of people with good nutritional status was higher in the research group, and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio was lower than in the control group (P < 0.05). Thus, we recommend behavioral training in nursing for benign prostatic hyperplasia patients in the future to improve their postoperative rehabilitation and nutritional status.
