Satisfaction and quality of life of patients treated with tobramycin-dexamethasone suspension in daytime surgery managed by integrated nursing model
Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the effect of an integrated nursing model in day surgeries, treated with tobramycin-dexamethasone suspension, and its influence on patient satisfaction, quality of life, and indicators of immunity recovery.
Methods: Ninety-eight patients with ophthalmic diseases admitted to Anhui No. 2 Provincial People’s Hospital, Anhui, China from January 2021 to June 2022 were scheduled for surgery and treated with tobramycin-dexamethasone. They were randomly divided into two groups (control and study groups, with 49 cases in each group). All patients received routine nursing intervention, and an integrated nursing model was applied to the study group on this basis. Improvement in ocular symptoms, SF-36, changes in immune-related lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood, and nursing satisfaction were compared.
Results: Ocular symptom score at 24 h after operation in the study group was lower than in control group (p < 0.05). The SF-36 scores (physical status, cognitive ability, social function, emotional and mental status), immune-related lymphocyte subsets, and overall satisfaction rate after intervention in the study group were higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Integrated nursing model achieves ideal nursing effect in day surgery managed with tobramycin-dexamethasone> It also facilitates the recovery of patient’s eyes and plays a significant role in improving the quality of life, restoration of immunity, and nursing satisfaction of patients. A multicenter investigation will, however, be required prior to its full-scale clinical application.
