Abstract：Objective To investigate the effectiveness of a peer support group in patients with replantation of severed fingers,focusing on its impact on functional recovery of finger,nursing satisfaction,and quality of life.Methods This retrospective case-control study enrolled 108 patients who underwent digital replantation at our hospital from May 2023 to June 2024.Participants were assigned to a control group(n=54,receiving routine care)or an experimental group(n=54,receiving routine care plus peer support group interventions).The intervention included peer education,personal health record,discharge guidance,WeChat platform support,and regular assessments.Outcomes were evaluated at 6-month post-intervention,including functional recovery of finger,nursing satisfaction scores,and quality of life(QoL)including physical,psychological,social functioning,and material well-being domains.Results The experimental group demonstrated significantly higher rates of excellent/good functional recovery of finger compared to the control group(90.74%vs 75.93%,P<0.05).Nursing satisfaction scores(98.14%vs.85.19%)and QoLscores across all dimensions were statistically superior in the experimental group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in age,gender,education,personal monthly income,injury site,and the cause of injury between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The peer support group effectively enhances functional recovery of finger nursing satisfaction,and quality of life in the patients underwent digital replantation,while improving self-management capabilities and rehabilitation confidence.This evidence-based approach warrants broader clinical implementation.
