Objective: To investigate the effect of auricular point pressing pill combined with moxibustion in the nursing of hip fracture patients with Qi-deficiency type constipation after operation. Methods: A total of 102 hip fracture patients with Qi-deficiency type constipation after operation treated in Bozhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to June 2021 were selected as research subjects, and they were divided into a control group (n=51) and an observation group (n=51) according to different nursing interventions. The control group was given routine nursing (3 days as a course of treatment), and the observation group was given auricular point pressing pills (3 times a day for 3 consecutive days) combined with moxibustion (twice a day for 3 consecutive days) nursing intervention on the basis of the control group. The intervention effects of the 2 groups were compared, and the first defecation time, defecation interval time, each defecation time, and defecation frequency within 72 h were recorded. Wexner score, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were performed before and after the intervention. Results: After the intervention, the therapeutic effect of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The first defecation time of the observation group was (6.32±1.35) h, which was shorter than (8.11±1.47) h of the control group; the defecation interval time of the observation group was (18.48±4.12) h, which was shorter than that of the control group (20.36±4.75) h; the defecation time of the observation group was (9.36±2.35) min, shorter than (11.72±3.41) min of the control group. There was no significant difference in defecation frequency within 72 h between the 2 groups (P>0.05). After 1 and 3 d of intervention, the Wexner scores of the observation group were 10.36±1.78 and 6.58±1.23, respectively, which were significantly lower than those of the control group 11.68±1.69 and 7.89±1.52 (P<0.05). The SAS score of the observation group was 47.89±4.82, which was lower than that of the control group 52.67±6.12. The SDS score of the observation group was 51.36±5.21, which was lower than that of the control group 54.87±4.96  (P<0.05). Conclusion: The application of auricular point pressing pills combined with moxibustion in the nursing of hip fracture patients with Qi-deficiency type constipation after operation can improve the constipation of patients, and alleviate the negative emotions of patients.
