Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of meditation training on postoperative pain, anxiety and reduce the incidence of constipation in patients with lower limb fracture.
MethodsThe enrolled 106 patients with lower extremity fractures were randomly divided into the observation group and control group 53 cases respectively according to the odd even method. The control group was implemented with fracture surgery routine care, while the observation group was implemented with meditation training on the basis of the control group, the two groups were compared by postoperative pain score, anxiety, constipation, and satisfaction.
ResultsBefore intervention, the postoperative pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores and anxiety scores of the two groups were not significantly different (P > 0.05). After intervention, the postoperative pain scores of observation group and control group were (2.06 ± 0.85) points and (4.15 ± 0.62) points respectively, the difference was statistically significant (t = 4.103, P < 0.05). The anxiety scores of observation group and control group were (28.95± 3.83) points and (56.13±3.52) points respectively, the difference was statistically significant (t= 2.353, P < 0.05). The first defecation time and the cases number of observation group patients were as follows: day 1st: 20.75% (11/53), day 2nd: 52.83% (28/53), day 3rd: 18.87% (10/53), day 4th: 7.55% (4/53). While the data of the control group were day 1st: 1.89% (1/53), day 2nd: 26.42% (14/53), day 3rd 37.74% (20/53), day 4th: 33.96% (18/53), the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2= 4.022-5.629, P < 0.05). The satisfaction of observation group and control group patients were 94.34% (50/53), 77.36% (41/53) respectively, the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.543, P < 0.05).
ConclusionsMeditation training can effectively reduce postoperative pain, reduce the incidence of anxiety and constipation, and improve the satisfaction of patients to nursing service, and promote the recovery of patients after surgery.
