The control group was given conventional nursing care, and the experimental group received nursing intervention based on the G-Caprini scale. The rate of postoperative lower-limb deep-vein thrombosis in the two groups was compared, and the incidence of VTE and the level of nursing satisfaction in the two groups were statistically analyzed.Results: The incidence of postoperative VTE in each risk class of the G-Caprini scale was lower in the experimental group than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). In the experimental group, 47 patients were very satisfied with the nursing care, 1 was satisfied, and 1 was dissatisfied, which meant the nursing satisfaction rate in the experimental group was 97.96 (48/49). In the control group, 40 patients were very satisfied with the nursing care, 2 were satisfied, 1 was basically satisfied, and 6 were dissatisfied; thus, the satisfaction rate for nursing care in the control group was 87.75%. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2 = 19.657, p < 0.05).Conclusion: Nursing interventions based on the G-Caprini rating scale were significantly effective in preventing VTE in patients after gynecological surgery and resulted in higher levels of patient satisfaction in terms of nursing care.Keywords: G-Caprini scale, nursing intervention, gynecological surgery, venous thromboembolism
