objective: to study the fracture of postoperative nursing intervention effect on limbs swelling recovery;Methods: from March 2015 to April 2015 during an orthopaedic hospital treated 90 cases of fracture in patients with limb swelling grouping study and randomly divided into control group and intervention group and control group and intervention group patients with routine nursing, but the intervention group was given other nursing intervention;Results: after 1 day of fractures in intervention group and control group in patients with limb swelling degree and degree of limb pain no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05), 3 and 7 days after intervention group patients with limb swelling degree and the physical pain levels were significantly lower than control group (P < 0.05).Fractures of postoperative swelling time significantly lower than the control group, intervention group patients have very significant difference (P < 0.01).Intervention group patients after operation was very satisfied and satisfaction is significantly higher than the control group, difference has statistical significance (P < 0.05), generally satisfied and unsatisfied number is obviously lower than the control group, difference has statistical significance (P < 0.05), the total satisfaction intervention group was obviously higher than that of control group.Fracture in the intervention group patients feel, somatosensory, mental state health, sleep, life satisfaction and appetite and so on quality of life is significantly higher than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).Fracture 7 d intervention group patients in psychological, physiological comfort is significantly higher than that in control group, the enthusiasm of rehabilitation exercise also significantly higher than the control group, significant difference (P < 0.05);Fractures in patients with postoperative intervention group and control group in the environment and the social and cultural aspects of comfort there was no significant difference (P > 0.05).Conclusion: nursing intervention can effectively promote fracture patients with limb swelling after rehabilitation, reduce complications.
