Abstract：Objective To explore the application of clinical nursing path in patients with chronic sinusitis and nasal endoscopic surgery. Methods 66 cases of chronic sinusitis were selected from April 2015 to January 2016 in our hospital. They were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 33 cases in each. Patients in control group were treated with routine nursing of nasal endoscopic surgery,while patients in observation group were used clinical nursing path for endoscopic sinus surgery. The knowledge of health,satisfaction,hospital stay,hospital costs and compliance of nursing of the two groups were compared. Results In observation group,health knowledge passing rate was 96.97%(32/33),significantly higher than that of control group(78.79%,26/33),and the difference is statistically significant(P<0.05),The satisfaction rate of observation group patients was 93.94%(31/33),which was higher than that of the control group(75.76%,25/33). The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The hospi-talization time of patients in the two group was(8.65±2.12) vs(11.56±2.54)d,and the cost of hospitalization was (6789.52±1499.75)vs(8297.31±1581.62)yuan, which was significantly lower in the observation group than that of the control group,and the compliance of nursing significantly higher than control group[(82.69±6.95)vs (70.08±6.63)],and the difference is statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Application of clinical nurs-ing pathway in chronic sinusitis with nasal endoscopic sur-gery can improve patients' health knowledge,satisfaction and the nursing compliance,reduce hospitalization time, thereby reducing hospitalization expenses,is worthy to be popularized.
