The Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism After Gynecological Surgery with Nursing Intervention Based on the G-Caprini Scale.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of nursing intervention based on the G-Caprini scale on the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after gynecological surgery and patients' satisfaction rate for nursing care. Ninety-eight patients who attended Taizhou People's Hospital and underwent gynecological surgery between January 2021 and December 2021 were selected as subjects and divided into two groups according to a random number table, with 49 cases in each group. The control group was given conventional nursing care, and the experimental group received nursing intervention based on the G-Caprini scale. The rate of postoperative lower-limb deep-vein thrombosis in the two groups was compared, and the incidence of VTE and the level of nursing satisfaction in the two groups were statistically analyzed. The incidence of postoperative VTE in each risk class of the G-Caprini scale was lower in the experimental group than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). In the experimental group, 47 patients were very satisfied with the nursing care, 1 was satisfied, and 1 was dissatisfied, which meant the nursing satisfaction rate in the experimental group was 97.96 (48/49). In the control group, 40 patients were very satisfied with the nursing care, 2 were satisfied, 1 was basically satisfied, and 6 were dissatisfied; thus, the satisfaction rate for nursing care in the control group was 87.75%. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ 2 = 19.657, p < 0.05). Nursing interventions based on the G-Caprini rating scale were significantly effective in preventing VTE in patients after gynecological surgery and resulted in higher levels of patient satisfaction in terms of nursing care.
