Insights
This study shows that using absorbable sutures and Watson care theory nursing significantly improves strabismus correction outcomes in children. It enhances cooperation, reduces anxiety and pain, and increases parent satisfaction.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Pediatric Surgery
- Nursing Theory
Background:
- Strabismus correction surgery in children requires effective nursing care.
- Absorbable sutures offer potential benefits in ophthalmic procedures.
- Watson Care Theory provides a framework for patient-centered nursing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of absorbable sutures in strabismus correction.
- To assess the impact of Watson Care Theory-based nursing on pediatric strabismus patients.
- To compare outcomes between routine nursing and enhanced nursing interventions.
Main Methods:
- A comparative study involving 148 children with strabismus.
- Two groups: control (routine nursing) and observation (Watson care nursing + absorbable sutures).
- Evaluated cooperation (ICC), anxiety (m-YAPS), pain (FPS), nursing quality, parent satisfaction, efficacy, and adverse events.
Main Results:
- Both groups showed strabismus improvement; the observation group had more significant gains in strabismus and visual function.
- Watson care nursing improved nursing management quality, parent satisfaction, reduced negative emotions, and enhanced treatment compliance.
- Absorbable sutures were effectively used in strabismus correction.
Conclusions:
- Watson care nursing is beneficial for pediatric strabismus patients, improving emotional state and compliance.
- The combined approach of absorbable sutures and Watson care nursing enhances clinical efficacy.
- This nursing approach fosters better nurse-patient relationships and a harmonious hospital environment.
Objectives:
The article is aimed at investigating the suture effect of absorbable suture in strabismus correction and the advantage of Watson care theory.
Methods:
148 children with strabismus were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups. The control group received routine nursing, and on this basis, the observation group was given Watson care theory nursing and eye muscle suture with absorbable sutures. The degree of cooperation (induction compliance checklist (ICC) score), negative emotion (modified Yale preoperative anxiety scale (m-YAPS) score), pain (face pain scale (FPS) score), quality of nursing management, parents' satisfaction, clinical efficacy, and adverse reactions were compared.
Results:
After nursing and surgical treatment, all children's strabismus symptoms were improved, and the improvement of strabismus and visual function in the observation group was more obvious. Watson care nursing can effectively improve the nursing management quality, parents' satisfaction, children's negative emotions, and treatment compliance.
Conclusions:
As a result, Watson care theory nursing is of great significance for improving the relationship between nurses and patients and building a harmonious hospital.
