Clinical Evaluation of Comfort Nursing in Gynecological Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Surgery
Background:
Laparoscopic surgery is a standard procedure for gynecological patients but can be associated with discomfort and anxiety. Comfort nursing interventions have been proposed as a potential approach to improve the well-being and outcomes of patients undergoing such surgeries.
Objective:
This study aimed to assess the impact of comfort nursing on patient comfort, anxiety, and depression levels during the postoperative period of laparoscopic surgery.
Methods:
A total of 90 gynecological patients with ovarian cysts were randomly assigned to either the control group (n = 45), receiving conventional nursing, or the experimental group (n = 45), receiving comfort nursing. The General Comfort Questionnaire (GCQ) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale were utilized to measure patient comfort and psychological well-being. Data analysis was performed using t tests, Fisher's exact test, and chi-square tests.
Results:
The results demonstrated that the experimental group receiving comfort nursing had significantly higher scores in the environment domain and total GCQ score than the control group (P < .05). However, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in the physiology, psychology, and society domains of the GCQ. Moreover, the experimental group had better HAD scores compared to the control group (P < .05).
Conclusions:
This study provides evidence that comfort nursing is an effective approach to improving patient comfort and reducing anxiety in gynecological patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for ovarian cysts. Implementing comfort nursing interventions can enhance the overall care experience for these patients and potentially contribute to better surgical outcomes.
