Pain Assessment and Nursing Intervention after Orthopedic Surgery

Objective: To investigate the impact of different kinds of pain assessment and nursing intervention after orthopedic surgery, in order to relieve patients' pain and improve their satisfaction.Method: Patients, with post operative pain, received by orthopedics department from January 2013 to June 2014 were divided into 2 groups.Control group of 64 cases were treated with traditional methods to address pain, and the research group of 92 cases were handled with standardized pain management in painless ward.Then, compared the pain management effect of these two groups, and patients' satisfaction degree.Result: At the first day after operation, the pain score of research group patients was(2.62±1.35),and control group was(3.86±1.63),and this difference showed statistical significance(t=4.685,P0.01).Patients in research group, with sleeping time of(4±1.5)hours at night, was better than patients in control group with(2±1.5)hours,contributed to statistical significance(t=3.637,P0.01).Compared to control group(55±5)%, patients were more satisfied with pain control in research group(90±7)%,and the difference was statistically significant(t=4.575,P0.05).As to therapeutic effect, research group patients with(95±5)%, were more satisfied than control group(70±5)%,a statistically significant difference(t=3.825,P0.05).Conclusion:The correct evaluation of pain assessment after operation and high-class nursing intervention could help patients reduce pain and promote the recovery of trauma.Furthermore, patients' mental and physical state could be improved under this condition, which could accelerate patients' recovery and enhance their prognosis effect.In addition, their qualities of life have been improved, contributing to higher degree of satisfaction with hospitalization.
