Impact Assessment of the "4+1 Nursing Operation Mode" on Enhancing the Efficacy of Alveolar Surgery Diagnosis and Treatment.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of the "4+1 Nursing Operation Mode" on improving the efficacy of alveolar surgery and the effectiveness of nursing. METHODS A total of 200 patients were recruited from the oral and maxillofacial surgery outpatient department at the School and Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University, between November and December 2023. These patients were allocated into 2 groups: a control group and an experimental group. The treatment for these groups involved different combinations of physicians and nurses, including doctors A and B, and nurses A, B, and C. In November 2023, doctor A treated 50 patients with the assistance of nurses A and C under the "4+1 Nursing Operation Mode," while another 50 patients were treated by doctor A with the assistance of nurse A following the "Four-Handed Operation Mode." In December 2023, doctor B treated 50 patients with the assistance of nurse B under the "Four-Handed Operation Mode," and another 50 patients were treated by doctor B with the assistance of nurses B and C using the "4+1 Nursing Operation Mode." Patient visit durations were documented, and patient satisfaction with diagnostic and treatment services was evaluated via a questionnaire survey. RESULTS In comparison to the "Four-Handed Operation Mode," the "4+1 Nursing Operation Mode" resulted in a 27% reduction in patient visit times and an improvement in patient satisfaction with nursing services. CONCLUSIONS The "4+1 Nursing Operation Mode" surpasses the "Four-Handed Operation Mode" in terms of efficiency. It not only reduces patient visit times and enhances doctor work efficiency but also improves patient satisfaction with nursing services.
