OBJECTIVE: To determine the application effect of nursing risk control based on the principle of seamless management in the department of gastrointestinal surgery. METHODS: A total of 62 patients with gastrointestinal diseases admitted to the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery in our hospital for nursing risk management based on the principle of seamless management were enrolled into a research group, and another 58 patients admitted before the implementation of such management were enrolled into a control group. The two groups were compared in the incidence of complications, Chinese Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS) score, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) score, nursing satisfaction, and awareness rate of health knowledge, and the nursing quality scores and medical complaints and disputes were compared before and after the implementation of nursing risk control based on the principle of seamless management by 19 nurses in the department. RESULTS: The pulmonary infection rate, incision infection rate, incidence of gastrointestinal reaction, and incidence of anastomotic leakage in the research group were all significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05), and CPSS and SAS scores of the research group were also both significantly lower than those of the control group (both P<0.001). In addition, the research group showed significantly higher nursing satisfaction and awareness rate of health knowledge than the control group (both P<0.01), and there were notably less medical complaints and disputes after implementation of the principle of seamless management (P<0.01). Moreover, after implementation of the principle, nursing staff acquired significantly higher scores of professional skills (health education, professional knowledge, and practical operation; all P<0.001), and also contributed to significantly higher scores of nursing work (basic nursing, disinfection and isolation, ward management, intensive care, document writing, and nursing safety; all P<0.001). CONCLUSION: Nursing risk control based on the principle of seamless management can improve the comprehensive quality of nursing staff in the department of gastrointestinal surgery and the overall quality of nursing, thus lowering the incidence of nursing risk, relieving patients' negative moods, and improving the nurse-patient relationship and satisfaction of both nurses and patients.
