Objective To develop a traditional Chinese medicine nursing humanistic care ward management program and evaluate its application effects. Methods A total of 192 inpatients from the Orthopedic Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Center were divided into a control group and an observation group (n=96 each) based on admission time. The control group received routine nursing care, while the observation group was treated in a TCM Nursing Humanistic Care Demonstration Ward, where a TCM nursing humanistic care ward management program was implemented, guided by the Ward Nursing Humanistic Care Management Standards. Compared the satisfaction with nursing humanistic care and the satisfaction with nursing work between the two groups, as well as the changes in nurses′ humanistic care qualities before and after implementation. Results The satisfaction with nursing humanistic care and the satisfaction with nursing among patients in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (both P<0.05). After the implementation of the TCM nursing humanistic care ward management program, the humanistic care qualities of the nurses were significantly higher than before (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of the TCM nursing humanistic care management program can improve the satisfaction of hospitalized patients with nursing humanistic care and the satisfaction with nursing work, as well as enhance the humanistic care qualities of nurses.
