Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of acupoint application nursing based on Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)Sanjiao Qi transformation theory on improving nursing outcomes for patients after hemorrhoid surgery.Methods A total of 100 patients who underwent hemorrhoid surgery in the Anorectal Department of Changshu Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from May 2024 to May 2025 were selected and randomly divided into the observation group(n=50)and the control group(n=50).The control group received routine TCM nursing after hemorrhoid surgery(Kushen Decoction fumigation and washing,Huanglian Ointment external application,etc.).The observation group added TCM acupoint application nursing at Zhongwan(CV12),Qihai(CV6),and Shimen(CV5)(application drug:Shexiang Hemorrhoid Ointment)on the basis of the control group.The intervention lasted for seven days.Observation indicators included defecation comfort score,abdominal distension relief time,anal tenesmus visual analogue scale(VAS)score,perianal skin condition score,sleep quality score,and nursing satisfaction.Results On the 3rd and 7th days after surgery,the defecation comfort scores of the observation group were(10.2±1.5)points and(14.3±1.2)points,respectively,which were higher than those of the control group([8.1±1.3]points and[11.2±1.4]points).The time to initial relief of abdominal distension and the duration of abdominal distension of the observation group were(28.5±4.2)h and(1.8±0.5)d respectively,both shorter than those in the control group([42.3±5.1]h,[3.2±0.7]d).On the 7th day after surgery,the anal tenesmus VAS score was(1.8±0.7)points,perianal skin condition score was(7.8±0.6)points,sleep quality score was(7.5±0.8)points,and the nursing satisfaction rate of the observation group was 100.0%,compared with that of the control group([3.2±0.8]points,[6.2±0.8]points,[5.8±0.9]points,72.0%,respectively)(all P<0.05).Conclusions Acupoint application nursing based on Sanjiao Qi transformation theory can improve defecation comfort,abdominal distension relief,anal tenesmus,perianal skin condition,and sleep quality in patients after hemorrhoid surgery,and enhance nursing satisfaction,which is worthy of clinical promotion.
