Application of evidence-based nursing in prevention of postoperative complications of breast augmentation

J Cosmet Dermatol. 2021 Aug 11. doi: 10.1111/jocd.14375. Online ahead of print.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To study the application of evidence-based nursing in prosthesis postoperative complications.

METHODS: A total of 78 cases of patients who underwent prosthetic breast augmentation were selected from July 2017 to July 2019. All the patients were divided into control group and study group according to the random number table method. The patients in the control group received routine nursing interventions, and the patients in the study group performed evidence-based nursing interventions based on the control group’s care. The mental health, external esthetic effects, and complications of the two groups were observed and compared.

RESULTS: Before the implementation of nursing intervention, there was no significant difference in mental health indicators (SAS, SDS) between the two groups (p > 0.05). After the intervention, the SAS and SDS scores of the two groups were lower than before the intervention, and the study group was lower than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05); before the implementation of nursing intervention, there was no significant difference in the scores of HADS-A and HADS-D between the two groups (p > 0.05). After the intervention, the scores of HADS-A and HADS-D of the two groups were lower than those before the intervention, and the scores of the study group were lower than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05); 94.9% (37 / 39) was better than 71. 8% (28 / 39) in the control group. The difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05), and the total incidence of postoperative complications in the study group was 5.1% (2 / 39), which was lower than 15.4% (6 / 39) in the control group (p < 0.05).

CONCLUSION: Evidence-based nursing intervention is effective in preventing postoperative complications of silicone breast augmentation prosthesis. It can effectively reduce postoperative complications, improve external esthetic effects, and improve the level of mental health of patients. It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
