Objective: To establish the medical integration “one-day ward” nursing pathway for cataract and explore its application value. Methods: 60 patients with cataract from January to June 2015 were selected as the control group and received conventional treatment plan; 60 patients with cataract from July to December 2015 were selected as the observation group and received the management plan of medical integration “one-day ward” nursing pathway; mean hospital stay, medical expense, hospitalization satisfaction and occurrence of postoperative complication were compared between the two groups. Results: Patients in the observation group had significantly shorter mean hospital stay and lower hospitalization expense than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the hospital service satisfaction among patients in the observation group was obviously higher than that among patients in the control group (P<0.05); there was no eye infections in the two groups, and there was no significant difference of corneal astigmatism between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: By carrying out the medical integration “one-day ward” nursing pathway among patients with cataract, the length of hospital stay of patients could be shortened, their medical burdens could be reduced and their satisfaction towards nursing service could be improved, thus the medical integration “one-day ward” nursing pathway was worth being further popularized.
