The control group received routine peri-operative care; in addition, the observation group were given standardized pain nursing care. The postoperative pain and quality of life were compared between these two groups.
Results
The general and strongest pain levels 24 h after operation were (4.1±1.7) and (6.5±2.2) in the observation group and were (5.2±1.8) and (7.8±2.5) in the control group (P<0.01) . The emotion, a change of position, cough / deep breathing, sleep etc. were better in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.01 or P<0.05).
Conclusions
Standardized pain nursing care can effectively alleviate the patients' pain and improve their quality of life and is of great significance, so it it worth being clinically generalized.
