ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: With continuous advancements in medical technology, neurosurgical nursing is constantly developing and improving to provide higher-quality nursing services. AIM: To explore the effects of different types of high-quality nursing care on clinical nursing quality and patient satisfaction in neurosurgical nursing. METHODS: Eighty patients who received neurosurgical treatment in the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from June to December 2020 were selected as study participants and categorised into study and control groups. The study group comprised 40 patients who received 4 different types of high-quality nursing care, whereas the control group comprised 40 patients who received conventional nursing care. After a specific period, nursing satisfaction levels and adverse event and complication rates were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Satisfaction with high-quality care was higher than that with conventional care, and high-quality health services and regional services showed the highest satisfaction levels, with an average score of 12 on the Glasgow scale. The satisfaction levels of the study and control groups were 75% and 57%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference (t = 7.314, P < 0.05). During the nursing period, the adverse event and complication rates were the highest in patients with level III pathology grade and those who underwent neurosurgery (40.02% and 85.93%, respectively), and the difference was statistically significant. CONCLUSION: In neurosurgical nursing, employing appropriate high-quality nursing methods can effectively reduce adverse event and complication rates in patients, thereby improving the quality of nursing care and increasing clinical nursing value.
