Objective To explore the application effect of programmatic nursing in the elderly physical examination population in the community. Methods 120 elderly people who underwent physical examinations at our community service center from January 2024 to January 2025 were selected as the research subjects. They were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group using a random number table method, with 60 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing care, while the observation group received procedural nursing care. The efficiency of two groups physical examinations, their mastery of physical examination knowledge, satisfaction with physical examinations, and the occurrence of adverse events were compared. Results The observation group had shorter examination time, examination report issuance time, and examination waiting time than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); The scores of knowledge mastery and satisfaction with physical examination in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); The incidence of adverse events in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of programmatic nursing in the elderly physical examination population in the community has significant effects, which can improve the efficiency of physical examination, enhance the mastery of physical examination knowledge and satisfaction, reduce the incidence of adverse events, and is worthy of promotion.
