Abstract

Objective: To explore the effect of Qi cross-shaped moxibustion on the recovery of gastrointestinal function in elderly hip fracture patients after surgery. Methods: 62 elderly hip fracture surgery patients were selected as the base analysis sample, enrolled in January 2023–May 2024, and divided into an observation group (n = 31) and a control group (n = 31) using the digital table random draw scheme. The patients in the control group underwent conventional dietary intervention, and the patients in the observation group underwent Qi cross-shaped moxibustion intervention, comparing the gastrointestinal function recovery time and quality of life scores (PAC-QOL) of patients with constipation between the two groups. Results: The gastrointestinal function recovery time of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05); the PAC-QOL score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group after the intervention (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Qi cross-shaped moxibustion can shorten the recovery time of gastrointestinal function and improve the quality of life of elderly hip fracture patients after surgery, and it has the value of promotion and application.
