Objective To observe and analyze the effect of health education in the nursing of foot and ankle surgery patients. Methods 84 patients with foot and ankle surgery were selected as the study objects, all of whom were admitted to the foot and ankle surgery department from February to September in 2023, and underwent surgical treatment. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, 84 patients were assigned to two groups, namely the control group and the observation group, respectively to implement routine nursing and health education nursing, and compare the nursing effects of the two groups. Results First, the disease awareness scores of the two groups were evaluated and analyzed, including "medication precautions", "basic disease knowledge" and "disease development factors". It was reported that the above disease awareness scores of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Secondly, the compliance and psychological status scores of the two groups were evaluated and compared, and the results showed that the above indexes in the observation group were better (P < 0.05). Conclusion The implementation of health education in foot and ankle surgical nursing is helpful to improve patients cognitive depth of disease, improve compliance and reduce adverse emotions.
