Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of application of painless wards in Department of Orthopedics on pain and anxiety of patients after orthopedic surgery.Methods:According to overall sampling method, 520 patients who underwent orthopedic surgery in Affiliated Hangzhou First People's Hospital to Zhejiang University School of Medicine from March 2018 to March 2019 were selected and they were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, with 260 cases in each group. Patients in both groups were admitted to the painless ward after surgery. The control group was given routine nursing in the painless ward while the observation group was given aromatherapy on this basis. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score and Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score on day 1, 3, and 7 after surgery were compared between the two groups.Results:VAS and SAS scores of the two groups showed a decreasing trend with time after surgery, and VAS and SAS scores of the observation group on day 1, 3 and 7 after surgery were lower than those of the control group. The differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Application of aromatherapy in painless wards in Department of Orthopedics can furtherly reduce the degree of postoperative pain and anxiety of orthopedic patients and promote the rapid postoperative rehabilitation.
