Objective To explore the application effect of personalized nursing based on the Information Knowledge Belief Behavior (IKAP) model in the perioperative period of orthognathic patients. Methods 100 eligible patients undergoing orthognathic surgery from January to June 2024 and from July to December 2024 were selected as the study subjects. They were randomly divided into a control group (n=50, receiving routine perioperative health education) and an observation group (n=50, receiving personalized care based on the IKAP model) using a random number table method. The compliance, psychological status, and incidence of postoperative complications of the two groups of patients were compared. Results The compliance of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the SAS, SDS scores, and incidence of postoperative complications were all lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Personalized nursing based on the IKAP model can help improve patient compliance, effectively alleviate adverse psychological states of orthognathic patients, and reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications.
