Abstract:

Objective　To explore the effect of standardized preoperative visit in patients undergoing facial paralysis repair.

Methods　Eighty patients with facial paralysis were divided into control group and observation group according to the operation

time. Forty patients admitted first were in the control group. The patients in control group was admitted to the hospital for surgery

according to the traditional process. And 40 patients admitted later were in the observation group. The observation group imple

mented the standardized preoperative visit method according to the newly improved process. The Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS)

and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) were compared between the two groups. The average length of preoperative preparation

time, the operation completion rate and the average length of stay were also observed. Results　The SAS score of the observation

group was 31.93±2.43 and SDS score was 31.525±2.82, which were significantly lower than the SAS score (46.03±2.31) and

SDS score (44.02±2.06) of the control group (P<0.001). The preoperative preparation time of the observation group was (2±0)

days, which was significantly less than that of the control group, which was (2.41±0.9) days (P<0.01). The operation completion

rate of the observation group (97.5%) was higher than that of the control group (90%). The average hospital stay of the observation

group was (6.45±1.31) days, which was lower than that of the control group, which was (8.08±2.23) days (P<0.05). Conclusion

　The application of standardized preoperative visit method can provide early, timely and effective assessment and nursing in

tervention of systemic risks associated with repair of facial paralysis, alleviate patients’

anxiety and depression, screen operation

risks, shorten the preoperative preparation time after admission, improve the operation completion rate, and shorten the average

hospital stay of patients. It is worthy of clinical promotion.
