Abstract: Objective: To integrate the experience of patients with Surgical Site Infections (SSIs). Methods: Search PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of science, CNKI, Wanfang, SinoMed, etc. for qualitative study on the experience of patients with SSIs. The search time limit is from the establishment of the database to October 2020. The "Australia JBI evidence-based health care center qualitative study quality assessment (2016)" was as a benchmark, and the results were integrated using the Meta-integration method. Results: A total of 12 articles were included and 4 integrated results were synthesized. Integration result 1: SSI affects the normal life of patients, and negatively affects the patients' physical, psychological and social relationships. Integration result 2: The patients expect to be diagnosed before SSI treatment, the difficulties caused by the treatment, and support for life changes after treatment. Integration result 3: Patients lack SSI-related knowledge and expect to be supported by relevant information. Integration result 4: The patients have a positive attitude towards SSI and participate in the treatment and prevention of SSIs. Conclusion: The SSIs brings great pain to the patients, affects their daily life, and requires support from medical staff. Medical staff should attach great importance to infection and provide targeted support to patients.
