Effect of comprehensive nursing on patients with chalazion undergoing intense pulsed light and its influence on postoperative recurrence

Objective: To explore the effect of comprehensive nursing on patients with chalazion undergoing intense pulsed light (IPL) and its influence on postoperative recurrence. Methods: In this retrospective study, the medical re-cords of 72 patients who received IPL treatment for chalazion from October 2021 to February 2023 were analyzed. Among them, 33 patients treated with comprehensive nursing were included in the research group (RG) and 39 patients treated with routine nursing were included in the control group (CG). The treatment effect, complications and recurrence were compared between the two groups. The psychological state of patients and their satisfaction about the nursing were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results: After nursing, the severity of unhealthy emotion in the RG was obviously better than that in the CG (P=0.033); The overall response rate in the RG was obviously higher than that in the CG (P=0.035). The nursing satisfaction in RG was significantly higher than that in the CG (P=0.035). The incidence of complications in RG was obviously lower than that in the CG (P=0.045). Conclusion: Comprehensive nursing is effective in improving the therapeutic effect and reducing the postoperative recurrence rate for patients with chalazion.
