Construction and Application Effect Analysis of Orthopedic Pain Care Ward under Multi-Disciplinary Cooperation Model.

A multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach is a nurse-led pain management method that involves collaboration with staff from other departments. The purpose of this paper was to discuss the construction and application effect of a pain care ward in orthopedics utilizing the MDT approach. A retrospective analysis of case data was conducted, selecting 90 patients with hip joint fractures who underwent hip replacement arthroplasty (HRA) at our hospital between February 2021 and February 2024. The patients were divided into two groups based on the nursing methods: a control group (n = 43), which received a conventional analgesic management program, and an intervention group (n = 47), which received the same conventional analgesic management program along with the implementation of an orthopedic pain care ward under the MDT approach. The study compared the pain knowledge and attitudes of the responsible nurses in both groups through questionnaires. Additionally, the accuracy of pain assessments and the awareness rates of patients' pain-related health education were evaluated and compared between the two groups. Furthermore, the effectiveness of pain intervention, range of motion (ROM), and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores before and after the intervention were analyzed. The incidence of complications and overall nursing satisfaction were also compared between the two groups. The general knowledge, pain assessment, drug analgesia, comprehensive application, and total scores of nurses in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( < 0.05). The accuracy rate of nurses' pain assessments and the awareness rate of patients' pain health education in the intervention group were 91.49% and 93.62%, respectively, both significantly higher than the 72.09% and 79.07% observed in the control group ( < 0.05). The total effective rate of pain intervention in the intervention group was 74.47%, significantly higher than the 53.49% in the control group ( < 0.05). After the intervention, both the ROM and HSS scores in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( < 0.05). The overall incidence of complications in the intervention group was 6.38%, significantly lower than the 20.93% in the control group ( < 0.05). Finally, the total satisfaction rate with nursing care in the intervention group was 91.49%, significantly higher than the 74.42% in the control group ( < 0.05). The construction and application of an MDT pain care ward can effectively enhance the accuracy of nurses' pain assessments, increase patients' awareness of pain-related health education, and improve the efficiency of pain interventions. Additionally, it can lead to better joint mobility and improved hip function, promoting the sustainable development of the pain care ward. These improvements contribute to higher patient satisfaction and enrich the quality of nursing services.
