Objective:To explore the application effect of postoperative nursing intervention based on hierarchy of needs theory in patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy.Methods:103 patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy were divided into control group and observation group according to different postoperative nursing intervention methods.51 patients who received routine postoper-ative nursing intervention were divided into control group,and 52 patients who received postoperative nursing intervention based on hier-archy of needs theory were divided into observation group.The postoperative recovery,negative emotions[self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)and self-rating depression scale(SDS)],coping style[simple coping style scale(SCSQ)]and self-care ability[self-care abili-ty scale(ESCA)]before and after intervention were compared between the two groups.Results:The postoperative recovery of the obser-vation group was faster than that of the control group(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the anxiety and depression scores in the observation group were lower after intervention(P＜0.05).After intervention,the positive coping scores of the two groups in-creased,the negative coping scores decreased,and the observation group was higher(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the scores of self-care ability in the observation group were higher(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Postoperative nursing intervention based on hi-erarchy of needs theory can promote the postoperative recovery of patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy,improve their negative emotions and coping styles,and improve their self-care ability.
