Objective To analyze the application effect of modular nursing plan in the care of chronic prostatitis and explore its impact on patients' self-efficacy. Methods The experimental period was 1 year, starting from November 2024 to November 2025. A total of 80 patients with chronic prostatitis who received treatment during this period were selected as observation subjects. According to the sequence of treatment, all patients were numbered from 1 to 80. The first 40 patients received conventional nursing (control group), while the latter 40 patients adopted the modular nursing plan (observation group). The differences in outcomes were analyzed and compared. Results Statistical results showed that compared with the control group, the observation group exhibited significantly improved scores in self-efficacy (GSES), erectile dysfunction (IIEF-5), chronic prostatitis symptom score (NIH-CPSI), mental health status (HAMA, HAMD), and quality of life (QLQ-C30). The P-value for the comparison between the two groups was <0.05. Conclusion The implementation of the modular nursing plan during the treatment of chronic prostatitis patients is beneficial for improving nursing quality, optimizing patients' self-efficacy, enhancing mental health status, and promoting overall recovery. It demonstrates a positive role in restoring quality of life and is worthy of being promoted as a reliable nursing protocol.
