Effect of perioperative nursing without caregiver modes on cesarean section patients

Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of perioperative nursing without caregiver on cesarean section patients under the excellent nursing service. Methods 291 cesarean section patients in hospital spanning from December 2009 to May 2010 were chosen as the control group and were given primary nursing. Their daily life care was given by the patients＇ relatives. 292 cesarean section patients in hospital spanning from June 2010 to December 2010 were chosen as the intervention group and were given excellent nursing service. Their daily life care was given by hospital escort. Self-rating anxiety scale （SAS） and self-rating depression scale （SDS） were filled before and after the cesarean. The anxiety and depression scores as well as satisfaction rate were compared between the two groups. Results The SAS and SDS scores before cesarean section were of no significant differences between the two groups （P 〉0.05）. The SAS and SDS scores after cesarean section of the intervention group were （34.34±1.63） and （34.51 ±1.82） points, lower than （42.60±1.43） and （42.95±1.39） points of the control group. There were significant differences between the two groups （ t = 25.22, 25.25, respectively; P 〈 0.05 ）. The patient satisfaction of the intervention group （98.29%） was higher than that of the control group （91.75%）. The difference was statistically significant （X2 =13. 17,P〈0.05）. Conclusions Perioperative nursing without caregiver can alleviate the anxiety and depression of the cesarean section patients and enhance their satisfaction.
