Objective To explore the application of cluster nursing mode in perioperative period of elderly patients with hip fracture.Methods A retrospective cohort study design was used.Through convenience sampling method,50 elderly patients admitted to the hospital for hip fractures from January 2018 to December 2019 were selected as the control group.Meanwhile,47 elderly patients admitted to hospital for hip fractures from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the experimental group.The experimental group received cluster nursing,while the control group received routine nursing measures.The outcomes compared between the 2 groups included the effective rate of pain intervention,functional exercise compliance,and the incidence of complications.Results The effective rate of pain intervention(χ2=5.922,P=0.015)and functional exercise compliance(χ2=9.685,P= 0.008)in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group.The number of perioperative complications(χ2=7.600,P=0.006)in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group.Conclusion The application of cluster nursing mode in the perioperative period of elderly patients with hip fractures can effectively control pain,improve functional exercise compliance,and reduce complications.
