Objective: To observe the effect of auricular pressure beans (APN) combined with Compound Tung-Leaf Burn Oil (CTBO) on perioperative anxiety and pain in patients undergoing circumcision.
Methods: This study included 100 patients undergoing circumcision with the disposable circumcision anastomosis stapler in our hospital from August 2023 to November 2023, of whom 50 received routine circumcision nursing care (the control group) and other 50 APN combined with compound CTBO in addition (the observation group). We compared between the two groups the anxiety scores before any intervention, 30 minutes before and 24 hours and 10 days after operation, the pain scores 24 hours postoperatively and at the first change of wound dressing, the frequency of 3-day postoperative sleep awakenings, the incidence of complications, and the satisfaction of the patients.
