Objective To explore the effect of phased posture intervention on postoperative patients with oral cancer. Methods Totally 200 oral cancer patients who underwent free tissue flap transplantation and reconstruction between June 2021 and December 2022 were selected, and divided into an observation group and a control group, each of 100, according to a random number table. The control group received routine posture nursing after oral cancer surgeries, while the observation group underwent staged posture intervention. The postoperative complications, comfort and recovery were compared between the two groups. Results After the intervention, the incidence of pressure injury in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group(χ2= 4.189, P=0.041). The comfart scores of the two groups were compared in the aspects of time effect, intergroup effect and interaction effect, the differences were statistically significant(Ftime=1 539.670, P<0.001; Fintergroup=124.850, P<0.001; Finteraction=25.197,P<0.001). Moreover, the time of getting out of bed in the former group was significantly earlier than the latter, while the postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter than the latter(t=9.755,P<0.001;t=2.642,P=0.003). There was no signifieant difference in the numbers of cases of vascular erisis between the two groups(χ2=0.096,P=0.756). Conclusion Phased posture intervention can effectively lower the incidence of stress injury of patients with oral cancer after surgeries, as well as improve their comfort and rehabilitation.
