Objective To explore the impact of CICARE communication model-based empowerment nursing on postoperative self-care ability and treatment compliance in patients undergoing transurethral green laser enucleation of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Methods The study subjects were 76 patients who underwent transurethral green laser enucleation of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia at our hospital from November 2024 to October 2025. All patients were randomly divided into two groups by lottery: the control group (38 cases) and the observation group (38 cases). The control group received routine postoperative care, while the observation group received CICARE communication model-based empowerment nursing. The postoperative self-care ability and treatment compliance of the patients were evaluated, and the data were analyzed and compared. Results The scores of postoperative self-care ability in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the treatment compliance of the observation group was also higher than that of the control group. The differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion The application of CICARE communication model-based empowerment nursing in transurethral green laser enucleation of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia can effectively improve the postoperative self-care ability of patients and their treatment compliance, with a good overall nursing effect, and has the value of clinical promotion.
