Incentive Nursing can Effectively Improve the ESCA Level of Patients with Endometrial Cancer after Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of incentive nursing on the rehabilitation of patients with endometrial cancer after laparoscopic hysterectomy. METHODS: A total of 110 patients with endometrial cancer receiving laparoscopic hysterectomy in our hospital from October 2017 to July 2020 were recruited and assigned at a ratio of 1 : 1 to receive either routine nursing (control group) or incentive nursing plus routine care (study group). Outcome measures included the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) score, Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) score, the exercise of self-care agency (ESCA) score, postoperative rehabilitation outcomes, the incidence of nursing complications, and nursing satisfaction. RESULTS: Patients receiving incentive nursing showed significantly lower SAS scores and HAMD scores, and a higher ESCA score versus patients given routine care alone (P < 0.05). Incentive care resulted in a shorter length of hospital stay and postoperative time of out-of-bed activities and exercises versus routine care (P < 0.05). Incentive care was associated with a significantly lower incidence of nursing complications and higher nursing satisfaction versus routine nursing (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Incentive nursing can effectively improve the ESCA level of patients, promote postoperative recovery, and reduce the incidence of complications, so it is worthy of clinical promotion.
