Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of early ambulation on general comfort of patients undergoing retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Methods From July 2013 to September 2014, 153 patients in our hospital, who underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy were randomly divided into control (n=78) and experimental groups (n=75). Early ambulation intervention was taken in the experimental group. Concretely, the patients were educated with early ambulation knowledge before operation, then they were evaluated for early ambulation 6 hours post operation. Finally, the qualified patients received early ambulation intervention and executed the corresponding ambulation program 8-24 hours after operation. Whereas, patients in the control group could decide their ambulation time all by themselves. Simultaneously, the time of first ambulation was compared between two groups and general comfort questionnaires ( GCQ ) were applied to evaluate the comfort status of the patients. Results The time of first ambulation was ( 12. 8 ± 5. 0 ) h in experimental group while it was (27. 9 ± 11. 8)h in the control group (t=10. 233,P<0. 01). The GCQ score post surgery in the experimental group was (89. 2 ± 12. 4), which was significantly higher than (73. 5 ± 10. 4) in the control group ( t = 8. 498, P < 0. 01 ). Conclusions Early ambulation of patients undergoing retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy can effectively improve their general comfort status and promote their rapid recovery.
