Objective To explore the intervention effect of staged rehabilitation nursing mode on functional recovery and quality of life improvement of patients after humeral fracture surgery. Methods The study subjects were 86 patients with humeral fractures, selected from January 2023 to January 2024, all of whom underwent surgical treatment. Using a random number table grouping method, the enrolled cases were divided into a reference group and an experimental group. The control group received routine nursing care, while the experimental group received a staged rehabilitation nursing program, with 43 study subjects included in each group. Evaluate the effects of two groups based on pain score, functional score, and quality of life. Results The pain score of the experimental group was lower than that of the reference group, and the functional score was higher than that of the reference group (P<0.05). The quality of life of the experimental group was higher than that of the reference group (P<0.05). Conclusion Adopting staged rehabilitation nursing in patients with humeral fractures after surgery can help alleviate pain, improve joint function, and ultimately enhance patients quality of life.
