Objective To explore the clinical application effect of traditional Chinese medicine nursing in operating room nursing. Methods This study adopted a randomized controlled experimental design. 140 surgical patients were randomly divided into two groups. The study group implemented traditional Chinese medicine nursing intervention, mainly acupoint massage, emotional nursing and other methods, and the control group adopted conventional nursing mode. The clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine nursing intervention was evaluated by comparing the differences between the two groups in nursing satisfaction, postoperative pain VAS score, complication rate, and postoperative anxiety and depression scores. Results The nursing satisfaction rate of the study group was 95.14%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (85.71%) (P＜0.05). The pain VAS score and complication rate at 72h after surgery were better than those of the control group. The VAS score of the study group was 1.2±0.9, which was significantly lower than that of the control group (3.5±1.6) (P＜0.05); the complication rate of the study group was 2.85%, and that of the control group was 11.43% (P＜0.05). The postoperative anxiety and depression scores decreased significantly in both groups, but the decrease in the study group was greater. The anxiety score decreased from 15.25±3.92 before surgery to 6.3±2.4 after surgery (P＜0.05), and the depression score decreased from 17.21±2.12 to 5.1±2.0 (P＜0.05), which were significantly lower than those in the control group. Conclusion TCM nursing improves the overall recovery quality of patients through comprehensive physiological and psychological intervention, and has good clinical promotion value.
