Abstract:Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effect of follow-up on the rehabilitation of patients undergoing thin silver needle heat conduction in ambulatory surgery center. Methods: One hundred and twenty patients with myofasciitis in our hospital from August 2017 to August 2018 were randomly and equally divided into follow-up group (group F) and control group (group C). Both groups underwent thin silver needle heat conduction at the ambulatory surgery center. The patients of group C had routine postoperative care, routine pre-discharge education, and routine follow-up within 14 days after discharge; The patients of group F, in addition to routine care and follow-up, were received the refined follow-up method, and were recorded detailed contact telephone numbers, established a follow-up WeChat group, and educated about the necessity of long-term treatment of chronic pain and were improved compliance with postoperative medication. The nurses instructed patients to perform rehabilitation exercises, functional training of muscle groups, muscle strength training, etc., and answer patients' questions about postoperative rehabilitation. The VAS, PSQI, SF-36, GSES, HPLP-II, and nursing satisfaction were evaluated at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after discharge in both groups, and the complications, if any, were recorded. Results: There was no significant difference in the preoperative general condition of both groups (P>0.05). The VAS and PSQI at 1month and 3month postoperatively were significantly lower, and SF-36, GSES, and HPLP-II were significantly higher than the preoperative basal values in both groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in VAS, PSQI, SF-36, GSES, HPLP-II and nursing satisfaction at 1 week postoperatively between both groups, but the VAS, PSQI at 1 month and 3 months postoperatively in group F was significantly lower, and the SF-36, GSES, HPLP-II and nursing satisfaction were significantly higher than those in group C (P<0.05). No serious complications occurred in both groups. Conclusion: Follow-up is beneficial to improve the condition and quality of life of patients undergoing thin silver needle conduction therapy and is an effective way to improve the level of care of patients undergoing ambulatory surgery.
