Clinical Impact of Tiered Nursing on Postoperative Recovery and Nutritional Status of General Surgery Patients Receiving Nasogastric Enteral Nutrition Support.

This research attempted to clarify the clinical impact of tiered nursing on the postoperative recovery and nutritional status of general surgery patients receiving nasogastric enteral nutrition support. Eighty patients undergoing surgery requiring nasogastric enteral nutrition support in the Department of General Surgery of Shengjing Hospital, affiliated with China Medical University, from June 2021 to June 2023 were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group using computer-assisted drawing. Each group consisted of 40 patients. During the nutritional support period, the control group received conventional nursing, whereas the experimental group received tiered nursing care. The incidence of gastrointestinal adverse reactions and serum albumin and prealbumin scores in the experimental group were lower than in the control group. The first postoperative time of exhaustion, defecation, oral intake, and overall length of stay was shorter in the experimental group than in the control group. The 36-Item Short Form Survey scores were higher in the experimental group than in the control group. In summary, tiered nursing intervention for general surgery patients receiving nasogastric enteral nutrition support can maintain postoperative gastrointestinal comfort, shorten gastrointestinal function recovery and overall recovery times, and elevate postoperative quality of life.
