Abstract
Objective: This study evaluated the application of a mindfulness-based nursing model in patients undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy.
Methods: A retrospective controlled study was conducted with 100 patients who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy. Patients were assigned to two groups based on the nursing protocol received: 50 patients received conventional care (control group), and 50 received mindfulness-based nursing care (observation group). Scores on the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) were compared between the two groups.
Results: The post-intervention GSES score in the observation group was 35.28±1.05, compared with 32.14±1.37 in the control group, a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). Scores across all SF-36 dimensions were higher in the observation group than in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The application of a mindfulness-based nursing model in patients undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy enhances self-efficacy and improves quality of life, supporting its broader clinical adoption.
