Effectiveness of pain care intervention combined with traditional Chinese medicine care in the perioperative care of patients with urinary stones

The study investigated the effectiveness of pain care intervention combined with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) care in the perioperative care of patients with urinary stones.Pain and urinary function recovery before and after postoperative care intervention, and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), and self-rating depression scale (SDS) scores before and after care intervention in the two groups were compared. First anal discharge time, catheter retention time, first out of bed activity time, the total number of hospital days, and complications were observed in both groups after surgery, and the satisfaction scores of patients in both groups with the perioperative care were recorded.Compared with the control group, the observation group showed lower first anal discharge time, catheter retention time, first out of bed activity time, the total number of hospital days, and the incidence of complications after surgery, and the patients were more satisfied with the care.Pain care intervention combined with TCM care is beneficial in reducing postoperative pain in patients undergoing urinary stone surgery, speeding up the recovery of urinary function, improving sleep quality, anxiety, and depression, and reducing the incidence of complications.
