Objective: To explore the effect of medical and nursing integration mode on the nursing care of patients with inguinal hernia treated by tension-free repair. Methods: A total of 76 cases of inguinal hernia patients admitted to the hospital from September 2023 to August 2024 were selected as study subjects. They were divided into 38 cases each in the control group and the observation group by using the random number table method. The patients in the control group were cared for by the traditional postoperative care mode and the patients in the observation group were given additional medical and nursing care based on the control group, and were observed and analyzed for pain relief, infection, hospital stay, and hospital costs. Results: The VAS score of patients in the observation group was (7.91 ± 2.21) at 1d postoperation and (11.04 ± 3.24) at 1d postoperation in the control group, which was significantly lower than that of the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05), and the VAS score of the patients at 6 months postoperation was (4.82 ± 1.81), which was not statistically significant when compared with that of the control patients (4.79 ± 1.45), which was not statistically different from those of the control group (P > 0.05); 3 cases of infection occurred in the at 3d, accounting for the total number of observation group postoperative patients (7.89%), and compared with control group with postoperative 5 cases of infection occurred in the 3 days, accounting for of the total number of patients (13.16%), the postoperative infection rate of the patients in the observation group was significantly reduced, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The number of hospitalization days as well as the hospitalization costs of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The integrated model of medical care has significant advantages in the care of patients with inguinal hernia treated with tension-free repair, which can effectively alleviate early postoperative pain, reduce the rate of infection, shorten the length of hospital stay, and reduce the cost of hospitalization.
