Abstract:

Objective: To explore the effect of clinical nursing pathway in penetrating eye injury patients in perioperative care.
Methods: One hundred and twenty-eight patients with penetrating eye injuries were randomly divided into observed group and control group, each with 64 cases. Patients in the control group werer cared with conventional health education mode, which means that the staff nurse completed the education of the complete knowledge of disease, treatment and care, as well as of the prevention of complications, dietary guidance, knowledge of drugs, methods of self-care, and rehabilitation in a 1-5 days after admission. In the
observed group, patients would be cared under clinical pathway plan, nurses would give whole, individualized, targeted, appropriate health education and make a record according to the actual individual situation. The levels of anxiety and depression, the knowledges of the disease and the satisfactory degrees of patients were observed in two groups. Results: Compared with the control group, the anxiety and depression degrees in the observed group were significantly lightened, and the health knowledge and care satisfactory degree were obviously improved. Conclusion: The clinical pathway with whole, individual, targeted and appropriate education for
patients could improve patients' understanding of the disease through communication, and could eliminate or reduce patients' anxiety and fear, as well as enhance the patients' sense of security and trust. The application of clinical care pathway could improve the quality of medical care in promoting the nurse-patient relationship and satisfaction with professional health care.
