Objective To observe the value of holistic nursing intervention after anal fistula surgery. Methods All 96 patients with anal fistula who underwent surgical treatment from August 2022 to August 2023 were randomly divided into two groups with 48 patients in each group according to the admission sequence number. The control group received routine nursing and the observation group received holistic nursing intervention. The two groups were evaluated comprehensively in terms of postoperative urination function recovery, pain degree and complications. Results After intervention, the score of overactive bladder disorder score Scale (OABSS) in both groups was significantly decreased compared with that before intervention (P < 0.05). The decrease of observation group was more obvious than control group (P < 0.05). Compared with the postoperative visual analogue score (VAS) of 1d, 2d and 3d, the observation group was significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the total incidence of postoperative complications decreased significantly in the observation group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Holistic nursing intervention after anal fistula surgery can help patients recover urination function as soon as possible, significantly reduce pain and control complications, which reflects high clinical promotion value.
