Objective To investigate the efficacy of interdisciplinary nursing teams in the rapid rehabilitation of patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods A comparative study was conducted on 86 THA patients treated at the hospital from July 2023 to July 2024. All patients were randomly and equally divided into a control group (n=43) and an observation group (n=43) using a randomized and equal allocation method. The control group received traditional nursing interventions, while the observation group received interdisciplinary nursing team interventions. Postoperative pain scores at different time points, hospitalization duration, hospitalization costs, and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups. The THA scores at 6 months postoperatively and the incidence of complications within one year postoperatively were also analyzed. Results The observation group demonstrated superior efficacy with the interdisciplinary nursing team model (P<0.05). The observation group showed statistically significant improvements in hospitalization duration, hospitalization costs, and patient satisfaction (P<0.05). The observation group exhibited greater effectiveness in pain management, functional recovery, deformity correction, and range of motion (P<0.05). The incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was lower in the observation group (P<0.05). Conclusion The interdisciplinary nursing team model has a positive impact on the rapid rehabilitation of THA patients, effectively reducing pain, shortening hospitalization duration, alleviating hospitalization burden, and decreasing complication rates. This model is worthy of promotion and application.
