Abstract

Objective: The effect of the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) and pain of patients undergoing root canal therapy in oral clinic.

Methods: 200 participants in an oral clinic from March 2020 to March 2022 were enrolled in our study. The control group (n = 100) accepted ERAS-based care and the research group (n = 100) accepted ERAS concept and cluster nursing. Nursing satisfaction, comfort, self-efficacy, subjective well-being, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), and self-rating depression scale (SDS) scores were compared.

Results: The research group had 100% satisfaction rate; the control group had 87% satisfaction rate. After nursing, the scores of comforts and self-efficacy of the two groups increased and the scores of comforts and self-efficacy of the research group were higher than those of the control group. After nursing, the scores of subjective well-being of the two groups increased. Furthermore, the higher scores of life satisfaction, interpersonal harmony, and self-efficacy in the research group were found. There was no significant difference in the scores of SAS and SDS between the two groups before nursing (P > 0.05), but after nursing, the scores of SAS and SDS in the two groups decreased, and the scores of SAS and SDS in the research group were lower than those in the control group, and there are statistically significant differences between the groups (P < 0.05). The scores of visual analogue score (VAS) and numerical rating scale (NRS) following intervention decreased, and there are statistically significant differences between the groups (P < 0.05). The less physiological, psychological, social functions, and health self-cognition in the research group were displayed, and there are statistically significant differences between groups (P < 0.05).

Conclusion: The adoption of the concept of ERAS and cluster nursing can effectively improve the psychological state and pain score of oral outpatients undergoing root canal therapy, improve comfort and self-efficacy, and enhance subjective well-being and quality of life. ERAS and cluster nursing is of great significance in relieving pain after root canal therapy in the outpatient department, reducing patients' pain and improving patients' quality of life.
