Objective To explore the nursing strategies of traditional Chinese medicine for the painful symptoms of urinary calculi and its application effect. Methods In the implementation of this study, 76 patients with urinary calculi were selected to participate in the experiment, all of whom had pain symptoms of different degrees. The patients were grouped according to the order of admission. 38 patients admitted first were included in the control group, and routine nursing was carried out; another 38 patients were included in the observation group, and traditional Chinese medicine nursing intervention was carried out. The nursing effect under different nursing measures was compared and analyzed. Results Visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the pain status of patients in the two groups, and Pittsburgh Sleep quality (PSQI) was used to evaluate the sleep quality of patients. It was reported that after nursing, the VAS score and PSQI score of patients in the observation group were (5.12±1.22) points and (8.31±1.02) points, respectively. In contrast, the scores of the control group were (7.92±1.24) points and (8.98±1.25) points, respectively. It can be seen that the VAS and PSQI scores of the observation group after nursing were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Nursing intervention of traditional Chinese medicine can relieve pain and improve sleep quality for patients with urinary stone pain.
