Objective • This study aims to explore the effect of the multidimensional nursing intervention for pain on the pain level in patients with lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans. Methods • From January 2020 to April 2021, 132 patients with lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University in China were enrolled in this prospective study. According to the random number table method, the patients were divided into the study group (n = 66; receiving multidimensional nursing intervention for pain) and the control group (n=66; receiving routine nursing intervention). The pain level, sleep quality, and claudication distance were recorded before and after the intervention. The ankle brachial index before discharge and 1, 3 and 6 months after discharge was recorded. The getting out of bed time, length of hospital stay, satisfaction with pain control, and postoperative complications were also recorded. Results • The postoperative get out of bed time and hospital stay in patients in the study group were shorter than patients in the control group (P < .05). After the intervention, the pain level was lower and sleep quality higher in the study group than in the control group (P < .05), and the limp distance in the study group was longer (P<.05). Before discharge and at 1, 3 and 6 months after discharge, the ankle brachial index in the study group was higher than in the control group (P<.05). In addition, there were significant differences between the 2 groups (P<.05). Compared with the control group (10.606%), the incidence of postoperative complications in the study group (1.515%) was lower (P<.05). Conclusions • The multidimensional nursing intervention for pain may effectively reduce pain levels, improve sleep quality, increase claudication distance and improve satisfaction with pain control, thus improving patient prognosis.
