Objective To explore the application effect of evidence-based nursing intervention using mind maps in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Methods 72 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia admitted to our hospital from June 2022 to June 2023 were included. They were randomly divided into a control group (conventional nursing intervention) and an observation group (evidence-based nursing intervention with mind mapping), with 36 patients in each group. The clinical indicators (exhaust time, mobilization time, catheterization time, feeding time, hospitalization time) and total incidence of complications were compared between the two groups of patients. Results The time of each clinical index in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group, and the total incidence of complications of urinary retention, urinary tube obstruction, bladder spasm and urethral bleeding in patients was also lower than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Evidence based nursing with mind mapping for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia in clinical practice can significantly improve prognosis, accelerate recovery, reduce postoperative complications, and have good application effects.
