Objective To explore the application value of a patient-centered comprehensive nursing model in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods A total of 115 patients with severe TBI admitted from January 2023 to December 2023 were selected as the study subjects and randomly divided into a research group (58 patients) and a control group (57 patients) using a numerical table method. The control group received routine critical care, while the research group received a patient-centered comprehensive nursing model. The two groups were compared in terms of post-nursing neurological function impairment scores (NIHSS), incidence of complications, nursing satisfaction, and length of hospital stay. Results After nursing, the NIHSS scores in the research group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05); the incidence of complications in the research group (6.90%) was lower than that in the control group (21.05%) (P<0.05); nursing satisfaction in the research group (96.55%) was higher than that in the control group (82.46%) (P<0.05); and the length of hospital stay in the research group was shorter than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Implementing a patient-centered comprehensive nursing model for patients with severe TBI can effectively improve neurological function, reduce the risk of complications, increase nursing satisfaction, and shorten hospital stay.
