Core Tip
Core Tip: The theory of planned behavior, which is widely applied in China as well as globally, is underutilized in acute surgical conditions in clinical nursing. While commonly used for long-term rehabilitation in China, there is minimal research on its application in urgent surgeries such as acute abdominal diseases. Domestic studies primarily focus on preoperative full-course nursing for cancers (e.g., cervical and breast cancers) requiring extensive preparation, thereby neglecting acute cases such as appendicitis with rapid surgical turnover. This study pioneered the theory of planned behavior-based full-process management for patients with acute appendicitis and evaluated its impact on postoperative recovery and complication rates.
