Objective To explore the effect of the holistic care on the quality of life assessment systemin patients with postoperative infection after kidney transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 92 patients with infection after renal transplantation in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2017, were analysed retrospectively. The patients were divided into nursing group(observation group)and routine nursing(controlgroup),according to different nursing plans,each group has 46 patients. The nursing quality were compared between the two groups,mainly on the scores of the nursing quality,survival quality score,anxiety score,compliance evaluation,physical comfort,environmental comfort ratings,and patient satisfaction. Results The comprehensive nursing quality(education,nursing attitude,nursing skills,ward management)in the observation group were significantly higher than that in the control group,and the difference were statistically significant(χ2 = 14.286,P = 0.003 ;χ2 = 16.331,P = 0.003 ;χ2 = 19.247,P = 0.002 ;χ2 = 18.295,P = 0.003). The survival quality score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in thecontrol group,and the difference was statistically significant(t = 4.672,P = 0.002). Anxiety scores in the observation group were significantly lower than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(t = -4.855,P = 0.003).The compliance score,physiological comfort score and environmental comfortscore in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group,and the difference werestatistically significant(t = -19.218,P = 0.002 ;t = -14.821,P = 0.003 ;t = -16.115,P = 0.002).Nursing satisfaction in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group,and the difference was statistically significant(χ2 = 4.873,P = 0.001)Conclusion “The holistic care”intervention could reduce the psychologicalburden of patients and their families as well as relieve the pain on the body,mind and spirit in all aspects. This method could also improve the quality of patients' lives along with the quality of nursing work. It has important guidingsignificance for clinical management of infection after renal transplantation and related nursing work.
