Objective:
Predictive care in patients undergoing ureteroscopic stone surgery has emerged as a promising approach. Thus, this study aims to enhance personalised nursing plans and reduce the risk of complications by conducting predictive analysis of possible risks early in the treatment and nursing process.
Methods:
Clinical data were collected from 108 patients who underwent ureteroscopic stone surgery and were admitted to our hospital between January 2020 and January 2023. Patients were divided into a control group (conventional nursing, n = 53) and an observation group (predictive care, n = 55) based on the nursing method, and various clinical indicators were compared between the two groups of surgical patients.
Results:
No significant difference in general data was found between the two groups (p > 0.05). Compared with the control group, the first time to exhaust gas (p < 0.05), the first time to get out of bed (p < 0.05), the time to exhaust stone (p < 0.05), the first time to defecate (p < 0.05) and the length of hospital stay (p < 0.05) in the observation group were shorter; 1 day after surgery, no significant differences in all dimensions of the general comfort questionnaire (GCQ) score were found; 2 days after surgery, the GCQ score in all dimensions of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (p < 0.05).
Conclusions:
Predictive nursing can effectively improve the patients with ureteral calculi, accelerate the process of postoperative recovery and reduce the occurrence of complications; Thus, this process is worthy of widespread clinical promotion.
