Abstract:

Objective To analyze the eff ect of functional dressings combined with specialized wound stoma nursing on postoperative wound recovery in patients with colorectal diseases. Method 120 patients with colorectal diseases admitted to Longhua District People’s Hospital in Shenzhen from May 2023 to June 2024 were select-ed and randomly divided into a study group (functional dressing combined with wound stoma specialty nursing) and a control group (conventional nursing) using a random number table method, with 60 patients in each group. The nursing effects of the two groups were compared. Result Compared with the control group, the patients in the study group had a shorter wound healing time, fewer dressing changes and debridement hospitalizations, and a higher number of wound pathogen seroconversion after 15 days of treatment, with significant differences (P ＜ 0.05). Before nursing, there was no signifi cant diff erence in wound area and pain score between the two groups of patients. After nursing, compared with the control group, the study group had a smaller wound area, lower gran-ulation growth score and pain score, and the diff erences were signifi cant (P ＜ 0.05). Before nursing, there was no signifi cant diff erence in white blood cell count, interleukin-6, and C-reactive protein levels between the two groups of patients (P ＞ 0.05). After nursing, the white blood cell count, interleukin-6, and C-reactive protein of the study group patients were lower than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion The combination of functional dressings and specialized wound and stoma care can accelerate the postoperative wound recovery speed and reduce the pain burden in patients with colorectal diseases.
