Clinical Report: Efficacy of an Integrated Training Approach in Perioperative Nursing

Overview

This study evaluates the impact of a standardized perioperative nursing protocol and training program on patient satisfaction and postoperative complications in implant-based breast reconstruction. Results indicate significantly higher satisfaction levels in the experimental group.

Background

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women, necessitating effective surgical interventions such as implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR). Despite its psychological benefits, the perioperative nursing process for IBBR is often inconsistent.

Data Highlights

Outcome MeasureExperimental GroupControl GroupP-value
Breast Satisfaction85.37 ± 5.4580.32 ± 4.97< 0.001
Surgical Outcome Satisfaction83.66 ± 5.7079.23 ± 5.21< 0.001
Nursing Care Satisfaction88.72 ± 6.2883.56 ± 5.99< 0.001
30-day Complication Incidence5.0%14.3%P > 0.05

Key Findings

  • The experimental group had significantly higher satisfaction with breast appearance, surgical outcomes, and nursing care compared to the control group.
  • 30-day postoperative complication incidence was lower in the experimental group (5.0%) compared to the control group (14.3%).
  • No statistically significant difference in complication grades was observed between the two groups.
  • The training program included model-based teaching, scenario-based simulations, and hands-on clinical practice.
  • The study utilized a quasi-experimental design with 82 enrolled patients, divided into experimental and control groups.

Clinical Implications

Further research is needed to confirm these results and assess long-term outcomes.

Conclusion

The study indicates that a combined training model can improve patient satisfaction in implant-based breast reconstruction.
