Background:
Surgical site infections (SSIs) pose significant challenges in obstetric nursing, affecting maternal and neonatal safety.
Purpose:
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of comprehensive strategies for preventing SSIs in obstetric nursing.
Methods:
A retrospective analysis was conducted on 200 obstetric surgical patients from January 2018 to December 2022. The observation group received comprehensive SSI prevention strategies and the control group received routine nursing care.
Results:
The observation group had a significantly lower SSIs rate (3.0% vs 10.0%, P = .045), fewer complications (1.0% vs 7.0%, P = .028), better incision healing (98.0% vs 91.0%, P = .028), fewer adverse events (4.0% vs 13.0%, P = .022), and lower pain scores on postoperative days 1 and 2.
Conclusion:
Implementing comprehensive SSI prevention strategies in obstetric nursing significantly reduces SSIs, complications, and pain, while enhancing wound healing and recovery.
