Objective To explore the application effect of evidence-based nursing in patients with replantation of severed fingers after surgery. Methods A total of 68 patients with severed finger replantation admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to January 2023 were included. They were divided into a control group (conventional nursing) and an observation group (evidence-based nursing) according to the postoperative nursing methods used by the patients. The nursing effects of the two groups were compared. Results The pain scores of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group at different postoperative time periods (1 day, 3 days, and 7 days), and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The functional scores (appearance, sensation, muscle strength, residual symptoms, and joint range of motion) of the replanted finger in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The use of evidence-based nursing intervention in postoperative care for patients with finger replantation can significantly reduce postoperative pain and accelerate the recovery of finger replantation function, which has high application value.
