Influence of early rehabilitation nursing on postoperative rehabilitation of patients with hallux valgus based on information-motivation-behavior skills model.

Objective: To probe the influence of early rehabilitation nursing on postoperative rehabilitation of patients with hallux valgus on the basis of information-motivation-behavior skills (IMB) model. Methods: Convenience sampling was adopted, and 80 patients with hallux valgus admitted to the Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University from July 2020 to July 2022 were randomly separated into control group (CG) and observation group (OG) with 40 patients in each group according to the time of admission. Patients in the CG received routine nursing and rehabilitation guidance and follow-up. Patients in the OG were given rehabilitation guidance and follow-up based on IMB model. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Association Scoring System (AOFAS) scores, Self-efficacy for Rehabilitation Out-come Scale (SER) scores, The Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores, quality of Life scores, incidence of complications as well as nursing satisfaction in both groups were compared. Results: After receiving usual nursing and rehabilitation guidance in each group, AOFAS scores, SER scores, quality of life scores and nursing satisfaction in the OG were elevated compared to the CG (P<0.05), SAS and SDS scores, and the incidence of complications in the OG were lessened compared to the CG (P<0.05). Conclusion: To sum up, Early rehabilitation nursing based on IMB model could promote the postoperative recovery of limb function after hallux valgus, reduce bad emotions, decrease the occurrence of complications, promote self-efficacy, and promote the quality of life of patients, which is valuable for promotion.
