Effect of multidimensional nursing based on empowerment theory on elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery

Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of multidimensional nursing based on empowerment theory on preoperative negative emotion in elderly patients undergoing endoscopic surgery. Methods A total of 243 cases of elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery undergoing endoscopic surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Zhejiang Province were selected by convenient sampling method. The intervention group (122 cases) and the control group (121 cases) were divided into two groups by random number table. According to the endoscopic surgery nursing routine, two groups of patients were given routine care, and the intervention group was given multidimensional nursing based on empowerment theory. Two groups were observed to evaluate the anxiety and depression of the patients during admission, preoperative night and 0.5 hour before surgery. Results The preoperative anxiety scores of the intervention group were 16.23±3.45, 22.17±4.13, 23.36±6.55. The preoperative depression scores of the intervention group were 10.23±3.45, 15.31±3.65, 19.29±6.28. The preoperative anxiety scores of the control group were 15.56±3.68, 30.17±3.78, 36.36±9.25. The preoperative depression scores of the control group were 9.56±1.23, 20.56±5.36, 34.24±8.17. The anxiety and depression of the intervention group and the control group were gradually increased before the operation, but the anxiety and depression in the intervention group was better than that in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusions Multidimensional nursing based on empowerment theory can effectively improve the preoperative negative emotions of elderly laparoscopic surgery, and is conducive to the treatment and recovery of the disease.
