Effect of Comprehensive Nursing Intervention Under Internet-Based WeChat Platform Education on Postoperative Recovery of Puerperae Undergoing Cesarean Section

Abstract

Objective: To explore the effect of comprehensive nursing intervention under internet-based WeChat platform education on postoperative recovery of puerperae undergoing cesarean section (C-section).

Methods: A total of 96 patients undergoing C-section in our hospital from June 2018 to October 2021 were selected for the retrospective analysis and grouped according to the nursing intervention modes as follows: patients who received a routine nursing intervention were included in the control group, and patients who received comprehensive nursing intervention under internet-based WeChat platform education were included in the study group, with 48 cases each. After the intervention, the postoperative recovery of puerperae undergoing C-section and obstetrics nursing quality were scientifically assessed.

Results: No statistical differences in general data between the two groups were observed (P > 0.05). Compared with the control group, patients in the study group had obviously earlier initial time of lactation (P < 0.05), significantly higher breast milk amount within 48 h after delivery (P < 0.05), significantly earlier spontaneous urination time, anal exhaust time and off-bed activity time (P < 0.05), obviously better mastery of health knowledge (P < 0.05), and, in terms of SCL-90, remarkably lower total score, average total positive score, and the number of positive items and scores in dimensions, such as somatization, obsessive-compulsive, depression, anxiety, interpersonal sensibility, anger-hostility, phobic-anxiety, and paranoid ideation (P < 0.05). At discharge, 3 months, and 6 months of follow-up, patients in the study group obtained significantly higher scores on quality of life than the control group (P < 0.05).

Conclusion: In the nursing of puerperae undergoing C-section, comprehensive nursing intervention measures based on the internet-based WeChat platform education can effectively improve the early lactation, mastery of health knowledge, and adverse emotions of puerpera and promote their postoperative recovery.
