Objective This study is aimed at exploring the effects of the concept of fast-track surgery (FTS) combined with empathic nursing on perioperative complication prevention and postoperative recovery of gynecological malignant tumor patients. Methods A total of 180 patients with gynecological malignant tumor treated by surgery in our hospital from September 2018 to October 2021 were randomly divided into three groups: group A, group B, and group C, with 60 patients in each group. Group C was given conventional nursing intervention, group B was given FTS intervention, and group A was given FTS intervention combined with empathic care. Psychological stress state (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate), postoperative recovery indicators (time of first anal exhaust, time of first defecation, time of getting out of bed, and length of postoperative hospital stay), postoperative complications, and psychological state (Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS)) levels of patients in the three groups were compared. Results Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate in group A were lower than those in group B, and those in group B were lower than those in group C (all P < 0.05). The time of first anal exhaust, time of first defecation, time of getting out of bed, and postoperative hospital stay in groups A and B were shorter than those in group C (all P < 0.05).The incidence of postoperative complications in groups A and B was 8.33% and 8.33%, respectively, lower than 23.33% in group C (both P < 0.05). SAS and SDS scores of group A were lower than those of groups B and C after intervention (all P < 0.05). Conclusion The concept of FTS combined with empathic nursing is beneficial to reduce the stress response of patients with gynecological malignant tumor before surgery, reduce the risk of postoperative complications, improve patients' mood, and speed up the rehabilitation process of patients.
