“…In addition, establishing good communication with patients was conducive to the development of auxiliary care. Medical staff should guide patients to carry out relevant pain rehabilitation activities to let patients understand the methods to reduce pain [42][43][44][45]. A small number of patients have prejudice toward the use of analgesics, and they should have good communication so that they can understand the use of analgesics and their disadvantages, illustrating the importance of analgesic measures in perioperative care.…”

Objective: it was to explore the influence of the postoperative pain management mode on the psychological state, quality of life (QOL), and nursing satisfaction of late patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) and improve the nursing effect of late patients in the ICU. Methods: seventy patients who were admitted to the postoperative ICU for gastric cancer and received treatment in our hospital from March 2021 to May 2022 were selected. The patients were assigned into a research group and a control (Ctrl) group according to a random number table, with 70 cases in each group. The Ctrl group received routine nursing intervention, while research group received nursing intervention based on routine nursing intervention with postoperative pain management mode and received psychological care. Good communication was established with the patients, and the postoperative pain assessment was well conducted. The general information, state-trait anxiety (STAI) score, World Health Organization’s Quality of Life Instrument (WHO QOL-BREF) score, and care satisfaction were compared. Results: the general information differed slightly, such as sex, age, and ward type, between groups, with comparability (P > 0.05). S-AI scores (13.15 ± 1.53 vs. 16.23 ± 1.24) and T-AI scores (14.73 ± 3.12 vs. 18.73 ± 3.16) in research group were inferior to those in Ctrl group (P < 0.05). The scores of patients in research group in the physiological field (78.9 ± 6.1 points vs. 72.3 ± 5.6 points), social relationship field (76.9 ± 4.5 points vs. 71.3 ± 4.8 points), psychological field (78.6 ± 6.2 points vs. 72.4 ± 5.3 points), environmental field (78.6 ± 6.7 points vs. 73.5 ± 6.4 points), and total QOL (79.5 ± 7.4 points vs. 71.6 ± 5.4 points) were higher than those in Ctrl group (P< 0.05). The total satisfaction rate with nursing care in research group (82.85%) was dramatically superior to that in Ctrl group (62.85%) (P< 0.05). Conclusion: the adoption of a postoperative pain management model in postoperative nursing interventions for patients in advanced ICUs can alleviate anxiety and depression, improve patients’ QOL and nursing satisfaction, and have clinical promotion value.

“…Within weeks of COVID-19's first wave, the Michael Garron community hospital in Toronto, ON, created, evaluated and revised a program that prepared redeployed nurses to support ICU teams. Reguindin et al (2022) describe the initial training and education and a second round revised using nurses' feedback to an initial evaluation. The support nurses requested better role clarity, more practice supports and education tailored to each nurse's experience.…”
