Simulated Bundled Payments for 4 Common Surgical Approaches to Treat Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: A Consideration to Break the Clinical Equipoise

Clinical efficacy of refined nursing strategies on early rehabilitation training for postoperative patients with cervical spondylosis

To investigate the effects of refined nursing strategies on postoperative quality of life, pain level, psychological condition, and other rehabilitation training of patients with cervical spondylosis. This study is a retrospective study, and 500 patients with cervical spondylosis admitted to our hospital from April 2022 to June 2023 were selected as the study objects. They were divided into a control group (250 cases) and an experimental group (250 cases) according to whether they received personalized intensive care. The control group received standard nursing care, while the experimental group was given personalized, high-quality nursing care. The refined nursing strategy comprises individualized rehabilitation training plans, psychological support, nutritional counseling, and pain management. Indicators such as pain level, cervical spine function, quality of life, complication statistics, and nursing satisfaction were employed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of 2 nursing methods. In the pain assessment, patients in the experimental and control groups had pain scores of (1.98 ± 0.84) and (5.78 ± 0.63), respectively, after the nursing intervention. The reduction in pain for patients in the experimental group was highly significant (P < .05) compared to pre-nursing care. Six months after the commencement of healthcare, the cervical spine function scores of the experimental and control groups were (93.36 ± 4.74) and (82.68 ± 5.42), respectively. Moreover, the cervical spine function recovery of the experimental group was deemed significant. The experimental group exhibited a lower probability of complications compared to the control group. Additionally, the quality of life was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group (P < .05). Improvement time and healing time were significantly shorter in the patients of the experimental group in comparison to the control group. In terms of nursing satisfaction, the experimental group had a significantly higher satisfaction rate of 87.57% than the control group (P < .05). The refined nursing strategy significantly improved the speed and quality of patients' functional recovery. Additionally, the implementation of personalized and comprehensive nursing techniques during postoperative treatment for cervical spondylosis resulted in a significant improvement in patient's quality of life and satisfaction with the treatment process.
