Curative Effect of IKAP Nursing in Perioperative Nursing of Endometriosis Treated by Laparoscopic Surgery

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of Information, Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (IKAP) nursing in the perioperative care of endometriosis patients treated with laparoscopic surgery. METHODS: A total of 100 patients with endometriosis who underwent laparoscopic surgery in our hospital from June 2020 to December 2021 were recruited and assigned to receive either routine care (control group) or IKAP care (observation group), with 50 cases in each group. Outcome measures included operative time, time-lapse before postoperative passing gas, length of hospital stay, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 (GQOLI-74) scores, and nursing outcomes. RESULTS: Before nursing, the SAS, SDS, and GQOLI-74 scores of the two groups were comparable (P > .05). IKAP care resulted in significantly lower SAS and SDS scores, and higher GQOLI-74 scores than routine care (P < .05). IKAP care was associated with significantly shorter operative time, time-lapse before postoperative passing gas, and length of hospital stay compared to routine care (P .05). CONCLUSION: IKAP nursing shortens the length of hospital stay after laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis, mitigates patients' adverse emotions, reduces postoperative complications, and effectively improves patients' medication adherence and quality of life.
