          Gynecological laparoscopic surgery is the current routine treatment. Although the injury is relatively small, it is still a traumatic
          operation and also increases the recovery speed of patients. This paper mainly explores the intervention effect of rapid reha-
          bilitation after gynecological laparoscopic surgery by means of WeChat group guidance based on the information adoption model
          and UTAUT model. Gynecological patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery and met the inclusion and exclusion conditions
          in a provincial maternal and child health hospital were selected as the research objects. The WeChat intervention group was
          compared with the nonintervention group, and the oral description score (VRS), comfort score (BCS), and 40-item recovery
          quality rating scale (QoR-40) were used as the scoring criteria. The results showed that the postoperative VRS and BCS scores in
          the WeChat intervention group were significantly lower than those in the nonintervention group. The total score of QoR-40 in
          both groups decreased compared with that before operation, reached the lowest on the first day after operation, and began to rise
          from the second day. This result is consistent with the patient’s postoperative recovery process. After operation, the total score of
          the WeChat intervention group on days 1 and 2 was higher than that of the non-WeChat intervention group. By comparing the
          results of the patient’s postoperative oral description score (VRS), comfort score (BCS), 40-item recovery quality score scale (QoR-
          40), etc., it can be shown that the overall recovery quality of the WeChat intervention group was better during these two days. In
          each section, the oral description score (VRS) and the 40-item recovery quality score scale (QoR-40) indicated that the pain
          sensation and emotional state scores of patients in the WeChat intervention group were higher than those in the nonintervention
          group, while the comfort score (BCS) was lower, indicating better comfort in the WeChat intervention group.
