Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of rapid rehabilitation surgical nursing on postoperative pain and shoulder joint function of patients with rotator cuff injury repair under arthroscope. Methods From April 2015 to June 2018, 84 patients underwent arthroscopic repair in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical College were divided into observation group (rapid rehabilitation nursing mode, 42 cases) and control group (general routine nursing mode, 42 cases) by single blind method, and the above-mentioned different nursing modes were adopted during the perioperative period. To evaluate the effect of rapid rehabilitation nursing mode on the postoperative pain and shoulder function of patients with rotator cuff injury repair under arthroscopy, we compared the basic data of the two groups before operation, pain relief time in hospital, VAS score, Rom score of shoulder joint function during postoperative follow-up, hospitalization time and satisfaction score of patients. Results Compared with the conventional nursing mode, the rapid rehabilitation nursing mode (24.83±2.57 days) could significantly reduce the postoperative pain relief time (37.02±5.42 days, P<0.05) and reduced the the VAS pain score at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after operation(P<0.05). In the half year after operation, the angles of shoulder joint flexion, extension, internal rotation and external rotation in the rapid rehabilitation nursing mode were higher than those in the routine nursing group(P<0.05), leading to the improvement of satisfaction score (P<0.05). Conclusion The rapid rehabilitation nursing mode can improve the curative effect of arthroscopy in the treatment of rotator cuff injury, reduce postoperative pain, promote the recovery of shoulder joint function and reduce the length of hospitalization, and ultimately increase the satisfaction of patients with the curative effect.
