Objective To analyze the clinical value of applying humanistic care to the nursing of cardiac surgery operating rooms. Methods 80 patients who underwent cardiac surgery in our hospital from August 2023 to August 2025 were selected as the analysis cases. They were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group using a random number table method. Each group had 40 patients, with the control group receiving routine nursing care and the observation group receiving humanistic care. The application effects of the two nursing methods were compared. Results Compared with the control group, the observation group showed a significant improvement in the quality of operating room nursing management and compliance with nursing treatment after nursing care. Patients' anxiety was significantly improved, and hospitalization time was significantly shortened. Intraoperative stress reactions such as hypothermia and shivering, as well as the incidence of postoperative complications, were significantly reduced. Finally, the patients' quality of life score was higher (P<0.05). Conclusion The use of humanistic care intervention in cardiac surgery operating room nursing can significantly improve the quality of operating room nursing management, improve patient anxiety and nursing treatment compliance, reduce hospitalization time, lower surgical stress response and incidence of complications, and improve patient quality of life.
