Objective To discuss the application effect of multi-dimensional rehabilitation nursing with traditional Chinese medicine characteristics in patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation (LDH). Methods A total of 82 patients with LDH who were admitted to the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from October 2018 to October 2020 were selected as the research objects, and were divided into the control group (n=41 cases) and the observation group (n=41 cases), all underwent conservative treatment, the control group underwent conventional rehabilitation nursing, the observation group applied traditional Chinese medicine characteristic multi-dimensional rehabilitation nursing on the basis of the control group, the pain status, functional rehabilitation level, anxiety and depression level and sleep quality of the two groups were compared. Results The pain in the observation group was lighter than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05). Before nursing, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the Japanese Orthopedic Association score (JOA) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) (P＞0.05). After nursing, the JOA score of the two groups was higher than that before nursing, and the ODI score was lower than before nursing, the JOA score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the ODI score was lower than that of the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).Before nursing, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups of self-rating anxiety scale (SAS)and depression self-rating scale (SDS) scores (P＞0.05). After nursing, the SAS score and SDS score of the two groups were lower than those before nursing, and the observation group was lower than that of the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05). The overall sleep quality of the observation group was better than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05). Conclusion The characteristic multi-dimensional rehabilitation nursing of traditional Chinese medicine is used for the treatment of LDH patients, and the effect is definite, not only the pain condition is improved, the functional rehabilitation level is improved, but also the anxiety and depression are improved, which is conducive to the improvement of sleep quality.
