Methods: A total of 86 patients with severe pancreatitis treated in our hospital from March 2023 to March 2024 were selected. Using a random number table method, the patients were divided into a control group receiving conventional nursing care and a study group receiving nursing interventions based on APACHE II scores, with 43 patients in each group. The intervention effects of the two groups were compared. Results: The recovery time of gastrointestinal function in the study group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (P < 0.05). After the intervention, the quality of life scores in the study group was significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of complications in the study group was significantly lower than in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Nursing interventions based on APACHE II scores can shorten gastrointestinal recovery time and reduce complications in patients with severe pancreatitis, contributing to improved quality of life.
