The impact of narrative nursing intervention on nursing outcomes of patients undergoing laparoscopic uterine fibroid surgery: A retrospective study

This study aims to analyze the impact of narrative nursing intervention methods on patients undergoing laparoscopic uterine fibroid surgery. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 234 patients with uterine fibroids who underwent laparoscopic surgery in the gynecology department from January 2023 to December 2024. Patients were divided into a narrative nursing group and a control group based on whether they received a narrative nursing intervention. The nursing effects of the 2 groups of patients were compared and analyzed, including negative emotions, nursing satisfaction, and postoperative recovery. There were 114 patients in control group and 120 in narrative nursing intervention group. The self-rated anxiety scale, self-rated depression scale, Hamilton anxiety scale, and Hamilton depression scale of patients in the narrative nursing group after nursing were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < .05). Patient satisfaction in the narrative nursing group was significantly higher than in the control nursing group (P < .05). The average hospitalization time and hospitalization costs of patients in the narrative nursing group were significantly lower than those in the control nursing group (P < .05). The narrative nursing group had higher nursing satisfaction (P < .05). Narrative nursing intervention has good application value in patients undergoing laparoscopic uterine fibroid surgery. Patients who adopt narrative nursing intervention have better postoperative recovery effects, can alleviate postoperative anxiety and depression, and improve patient nursing satisfaction.
