ObjectiveTo evaluate the perioperative nursing of total knee arthroplasty for patients with valgus deformity of the knee.MethodsSeventy-six patients who underwent surgical treatment were enrolled in the study from March 2014 to March 2018. The patients in the control group were treated with routine nursing. The experimental group was treated not only with routine nursing but also with health education, psychological care, family social support, and other nursing intervention. Hospital for special surgery and Pittsburgh sleep quality index were used to evaluate the effect of nursing intervention on patients after operation.ResultsAll the index scores of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05), indicating that the function of the diseased limb and the patient's sleep status improved significantly after the intervention.ConclusionsIndividualized nursing can improve the recovery of limb function and improve the patients’ quality of life. It is very effective for nurses to implement individualized nursing measures for patients after surgery.
