Objective To analyze the effect of evidence-based nursing intervention on elderly patients with chronic prostatitis during the perioperative period. Methods 66 elderly patients with chronic prostatitis who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from January 2023 to January 2024 were selected and randomly divided into a control group (conventional nursing) and an observation group (evidence-based nursing), with 33 patients in each group, according to a random number table method. The nursing effects of the two groups were compared. Results There was no statistically significant difference in clinical symptom scores and erectile dysfunction scores between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05). After intervention, the clinical symptom scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the erectile dysfunction scores were higher than those of the control group. In addition, the total incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the differences between the groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Evidence based nursing interventions for elderly patients with chronic prostatitis during the perioperative period can alleviate postoperative symptoms, restore erectile function, and reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications, which has practical value.
