Objective  To study effect of information-motivation-behavior(IMB)guided nursing intervention for prevention of complications after cervical cancer radical surgery.

  Methods  A total of 100 patients with cervical cancer radical surgery treated in our hospital were selected as research objects, and were divided into control group (routine nursing) and observation group (IMB guided nursing) according to the simple random grouping method, with 50 cases per group. The satisfaction, incidence of complications (urinary tract infection, deep venous thrombosis), residual urine volume and excellent rate of bladder function were compared between the two groups.

  Results  After nursing, the satisfaction rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (96.00% vs. 82.00%), the total incidence of urinary tract infection and deep venous thrombosis was significantly lower than that of the control group (12.00%vs. 26.00%), the residual urine volume was significantly less than that of the control group, and the bladder function rate was significantly higher than that of the control group (64.00% vs. 40.00%), and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).

  Conclusion  IMB-guided nursing intervention can effectively prevent the incidence of complications of urinary tract infection and deep venous thrombosis after radical operation of cervical cancer, which is conducive to the recovery of bladder function and the improvement of nursing satisfaction.
