To investigate the application of standardized humanistic care in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.

A total of 120 patients who underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in the Third People's Hospital of Hefei from August 2020 to June 2023 were selected. Using the random number table method, they were divided into two groups, with 60 cases in each group. The observation group received standardized humanistic care and the control group received routine intervention. Wound healing time and length of hospital stay were recorded. The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) and Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scale (NSNS) were used to evaluated patient nursing satisfaction.

The wound healing time [(5.31±1.17) days] and hospital stay [(2.16±0.52) days] in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group [(7.43±2.08), (4.33±1.22) days], with statistical significance (P<0.05). The NRS scores on postoperative day 1 [(3.92±1.32) points] and day 3 [(2.53±0.87) points] in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group [(4.63±1.51), (3.48±1.16) points], with statistical significance (P<0.05). After the intervention, the GAD-7 score [(10.53±2.09) points] and PHQ-9 score [(12.13±3.24) points] in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group [(13.65±2.56), (16.53±2.97) points], with statistical significance (P<0.05). The complication rate in the observation group (3.33%) was significantly lower than in the control group (15.00%), and the nursing satisfaction rate (96.67%) was significantly higher than in the control group (85.00%), both with statistical significance (P<0.05).

Standardized humanistic care services have a significant effect on patients undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery. This approach can shorten wound healing time and hospital stay, improve postoperative pain, psychological state, and reduce the incidence of complications, thereby enhancing nursing satisfaction.
