Objective To explore the application effect of risk management in nursing care of elderly patients in community wards. Methods 100 patients in the elderly ward of our community hospital from January 2024 to January 2025 were selected as the subjects for this study. According to the differences in nursing modes, they were divided into two groups using a random number table method. The control group received routine nursing care, while the observation group received risk management on the basis of routine nursing care. Compare the nursing quality scores, nursing satisfaction, psychological status, and incidence of adverse events between two groups. Results Compared with the control group, the observation group had significantly higher nursing satisfaction; The ward environment, nursing operations, and service attitude of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group; Compared with the control group, the observation group showed significantly higher nursing satisfaction; The psychological state of the observation group was better than that of the control group; The incidence of adverse events in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion Implementing risk management in community elderly ward nursing can effectively improve nursing quality, reduce the incidence of adverse events, and enhance satisfaction.
