Objective To evaluate the effect of protective motivation theory on spinal function recovery in patients with spinal fractures. Methods From March 2020 to September 2020, elderly patients with spinal fractures treated in our hospital were randomly selected, and 88 patients were included in the experiment. In the experimental group, 44 patients were included in each group. The two groups of patients were applied with traditional nursing intervention (control group) and protective motivation theory (experimental group), respectively, and the nursing effects of the two groups (patients spinal function recovery, nursing satisfaction, and quality of life) were compared and analyzed after nursing. Results The nursing satisfaction of the experimental group was 93.18%, which was significantly better than that of the control group, which was 77.27%. At the same time, the recovery of spinal function was also better, and the difference was statistically significant. The comparison was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion From the research results, it can be concluded that the application of protective motivation theory for patients with spinal fractures can help the rapid recovery of spinal function, reduce complications, and improve nursing satisfaction, which is worthy of application and promotion.
