Abstract：Objective:To explore the method and effect of special nursing intervention for elderly patients after hip fracture operation. Methods:100 elderly patients with hip fracture were randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group(50 cases in each group). The patients in the control group were given routine nursing care and the patients in the intervention group were additionally given special postoperative nursing intervention,the nursing effects were compared between the two groups. Results:The Harris hip scores were higher in the patients with total hip arthroplasty than those in the patients with internal fixation operation after discharge from hospital for one and 3 months(P<0. 05);the Harris hip scores of the patients were higher in the intervention group than the control group after dis-charge for one and 3 months(P<0. 05);the pain score of the patients was higher in the intervention group than the control group at dis-charge and after discharge for 3 months(P<0. 05);the function score of the patients was higher in the intervention group than the control group after discharge for 3 months(P<0. 05);the range of motion of the patients was better in the intervention group than the control group at discharge and after discharge for one and 3 months(P<0. 01);GDS was lower in the intervention group than the control group after discharge for 3 months(P<0. 05). Conclusion:The special postoperative nursing intervention can improve the postoperative hip joint function and alleviate the depressive state of elderly patients with hip fracture operation.
