Abstract

Objective: To explore and analyze the clinical effect of comfort nursing on children with acute otitis media. Methods: 62 children with acute otitis media caused by upper respiratory tract infection who visited the outpatient clinic of our hospital from June 2022 to June 2023 were selected for this study. They were divided into a study group (n = 31) and a control group (n = 31). Children in the control group received basic care, while children in the study group received comfort nursing along with basic care. The hearing thresholds, body temperature, treatment compliance, and nursing satisfaction of the two groups of children were compared. Results: After the nursing intervention, the hearing threshold and average body temperature of the children in the study group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05); the treatment compliance of the children in the study group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05); the nursing satisfaction of the study group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Comfort nursing can improve the treatment effect, treatment compliance, and nursing satisfaction of children with children with acute otitis media caused by upper respiratory tract infection.
