Methods: A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 60 pregnant women with GDM who were purposively selected and randomly allocated into experimental and control groups, each comprising 30 participants. The experimental group received comprehensive nursing interventions and pregnancy monitoring, while the control group received standard nursing care. Data collection was conducted using demographic questionnaires, pregnancy indicators, and maternal-infant outcome measurement tools. The collected data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results: The findings indicated significant improvements in fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, amniotic fluid index, and neonatal birth weight in the experimental group compared to the control group. However, no statistically significant differences were observed in body mass index (BMI) or pregnancy weight gain. Comprehensive nursing interventions were associated with a significant reduction in maternal complications, including polyhydramnios, postpartum hemorrhage, and preeclampsia, as well as neonatal complications such as neonatal pneumonia, macrosomia, and hypoglycemia. Conclusion: Comprehensive nursing interventions have a positive impact on maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnant women with GDM.展开更多

Improvement of stroke care should be achieved through awareness of public, especially through high-risk group. Henceforth, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nursing intervention on improving awareness of high-risk people about stroke prevention. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used to carry out this study, where a purposive sample of 80 adult patients at high risk for stroke were enrolled while they were attending the out-patient clinics of Zagazig University Hospitals for follow-up treatment;they were divided into two groups: case (40 patients) and control (40 patients). An interview questionnaire was used to assess patients’ knowledge regarding warning signs, risk factors, and immediate treatment;attitude;and their practice for prevention for stroke at pretest and posttest. Results: The study revealed the poor level of knowledge, bad level of preventive behavior, and negative attitude regarding stroke prevention at pre-intervention. However, after intervention, the high-risk people had fair level of knowledge with moderate practice for stroke prevention and positive attitude, with statistically significant difference between pre-post intervention and between the case and control groups. Conclusions: The study revealed that the nursing intervention seemed to change the knowledge, practice, and attitude of subjects regarding stroke prevention. This, in turn, implies that awareness of prevention of stroke and high-risk factor control could be important to reduce the burden of stroke in Egypt. Thus, further research on a larger scale is required to improve population knowledge and behavior for stroke prevention and control.展开更多

文摘Objective:To monitor the incidence of immune-related adverse events(irAEs)in patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)and programmed cell death protein-1(PD-1),and to evaluate the effectiveness of nursing interventions using a quantitative scoring system.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 65 cancer patients who received PD-1 therapy at the Oncology Department of Baotou Cancer Hospital from December 2023 to December 2024.The study examined the clinical features and blood test results related to irAEs.The National Cancer Institute’s Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events(NCI-CTCAE)was used to grade the severity of these events,which were classified into five levels.Based on the NCI-CTCAE scores,appropriate nursing measures were implemented,and a comprehensive risk assessment framework was developed.Results:The study group showed lower complication rates,overall incidence,and average hospital stay compared to the control group(P<0.05).Among the 65 patients,twenty-eight(43.07%)experienced a total of 35 irAEs,with 2(5.71%)being grade 3 or 4.The most frequent irAEs were dermatological conditions(34.29%),particularly rash with itching.The occurrence of irAEs did not correlate with patient gender,age,blood parameters(hemoglobin,white blood cell count,platelet count,etc.),or liver function(P>0.05),but it was associated with tumor type(P<0.05).Conclusion:PD-1 treatment is generally safe,with a low incidence of severe(grade 3 or higher)irAEs.Close monitoring is essential to ensure early detection,intervention,and management of irAEs,thereby maintaining a low level of adverse events and enhancing the safety and efficacy of PD-1 therapy.Implementing a quantitative risk scoring system for nursing care can decrease the rate of complications,enhance patient safety,and potentially reduce hospital stays and medical costs.
文摘Objective:To explore the effects of high-quality nursing intervention on negative emotions and quality of life in gynecological patients after laparoscopy.Methods:A total of 132 gynecological patients after laparoscopy were randomly divided into an observation group(n=66)and a control group(n=66)in a prospective study.The con-trol group received routine nursing care,while the observation group received high-quality nursing intervention.Anxiety,depression,quality of life,postoperative pain,self-care ability,and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results:The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Self-Rating Depression Scale scores were sig-nificantly lower in the observation group compared to the control group(both P<0.001).Pain scores at 6,24,48,and 72 hours post-surgery were also lower in the observation group(all P<0.001).The observation group showed significantly higher scores in physical function,general health,social function,emotional role,and mental health(all P<0.001).Furthermore,the observation group demonstrated better self-care skills,self-concept,self-care responsibility,and health knowledge(all P<0.001).Nursing satisfaction during hospitalization was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:High-quality nursing intervention is effective in improving depression,anxiety,postoperative pain,and quality of life in gynecological patients after laparoscopy.It also enhances self-care ability and patient satisfaction,making it worthy of clinical promotion and application.
文摘Objective:To explore the key points of early identification and comprehensive nursing intervention strategy for necrotizing fasciitis patients,to improve the efficiency of clinical diagnosis and treatment and the quality of prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of a 70-year-old female patient with right-hand trauma complicated by infection progressing to necrotizing fasciitis were reviewed and analyzed.Laboratory,imaging,and surgical findings were integrated to summarize the early identification features and key nursing considerations.Results:The patient retained the affected limb,albeit with some functional limitations,following early identification,timely surgical debridement,broad-spectrum anti-infective therapy,and comprehensive nursing care.Conclusion:The early clinical manifestations of necrotizing fasciitis are often subtle,and the disease progresses rapidly.This necessitates heightened vigilance among medical staff in all healthcare settings.Implementing multidisciplinary collaboration and systematic nursing interventions can improve patient prognosis while reducing amputation rates and mortality.
文摘To investigate the efficacy of a structured continuous nursing intervention program on clinical outcomes,self-efficacy,and sleep quality in patients diagnosed with aplastic anemia(AA).Methods:This study was a single-center,parallel-group,randomized controlled trial.A total of 64 patients with AA,treated at our hospital’s hematology department from May 2022 to May 2025,were enrolled.Participants were randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to either the control group(n=32),receiving routine nursing care,or the intervention group(n=32),receiving a six-month continuous nursing intervention program in addition to routine care.The intervention program consisted of structured health education,individualized psychological support,regular telephone follow-ups,and a 24/7 online communication platform.The primary outcome was the change in the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)score from baseline to six months.Secondary outcomes included hematological parameters(hemoglobin[Hb],absolute neutrophil count[ANC],platelet count[PLT]),incidence of adverse events(infections,bleeding episodes),quality of life(assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–Anemia[FACT-An]),and self-efficacy(assessed by the General Self-Efficacy Scale[GSE]).Statistical analyses were performed using independent t-tests,and chi-square tests or Fisher’s exact tests as appropriate.Results:A total of 55 patients(28 in the intervention group and 27 in the control group)completed the study.At baseline,there were no statistically significant differences in demographic data,clinical characteristics,or outcome measures between the two groups(p>0.05).After six months,the mean PSQI score in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group(7.12±2.05 vs.13.49±2.88;t=−13.450;p<0.001).The intervention group also demonstrated a significantly lower incidence of infections(4/28,14.29%vs.10/27,37.04%;p=0.048)and bleeding episodes requiring intervention(3/28,10.71%vs.9/27,33.33%;p=0.042).Furthermore,patients in the intervention group reported significantly higher scores on the FACT-An(125.70±10.31 vs.109.44±12.10;t=7.934;p<0.001)and the GSE scale(29.82±4.11 vs.23.51±4.80;t=7.311;p<0.001).While hematological parameters showed a trend toward improvement in the intervention group,the differences were not statistically significant compared to the control group(p>0.05).Conclusion:The implementation of a structured continuous nursing intervention program can significantly improve sleep quality,reduce the incidence of complications,and enhance quality of life and self-efficacy in patients with aplastic anemia.This evidence-based model of care should be considered for integration into standard clinical practice for the long-term management of this patient population.

文摘BACKGROUND Cardiovascular(CV)complications are common in intensive care unit(ICU)patients after gastrointestinal surgery and are associated with increased mortality and prolonged hospital stay.The optimization of postoperative nursing interventions,particularly pain management,is crucial for reducing such complications.AIM To investigate the effects of enhanced recovery nursing on CV complications after gastrointestinal surgery in ICU patients and associated risk factors.METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 78 adult patients who underwent gastrointestinal surgery in the ICU of our hospital between February 2023 and September 2024.Among them,40 patients received standard care(control group),while 38 received enhanced recovery nursing(observation group).We compared the incidence of CV complications and nursing satisfaction between the two groups.Patients were divided into CV complication and non-complication groups based on complication occurrence,and logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors.RESULTS In the control and observation groups,the incidence of CV complications was 30.0%(12/40)and 18.4%(7/38),with a nursing satisfaction rate of 70.0%(28/40)and 92.1%(35/38),respectively.The postoperative pain score at 14 days was significantly lower in the observation group(0.27±0.15)compared to the control group(1.65±0.37),with all differences being statistically significant(P<0.05).Univariate analysis indicated significant differences in age,body mass index,hypertension,diabetes,smoking history,history of heart failure,and previous myocardial infarction(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression identified heart failure history,previous myocardial infarction,age,hypertension,and diabetes as independent risk factors,with odds ratios of 1.195,1.528,1.062,1.836,and 1.942,respectively(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION Implementing enhanced recovery nursing for ICU patients after gastrointestinal surgery is beneficial in reducing the incidence of CV complications and improving nursing satisfaction.
文摘Objective: To examine the effects of comprehensive nursing interventions on maternal and infant outcomes in pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods: A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 60 pregnant women with GDM who were purposively selected and randomly allocated into experimental and control groups, each comprising 30 participants. The experimental group received comprehensive nursing interventions and pregnancy monitoring, while the control group received standard nursing care. Data collection was conducted using demographic questionnaires, pregnancy indicators, and maternal-infant outcome measurement tools. The collected data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results: The findings indicated significant improvements in fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, amniotic fluid index, and neonatal birth weight in the experimental group compared to the control group. However, no statistically significant differences were observed in body mass index (BMI) or pregnancy weight gain. Comprehensive nursing interventions were associated with a significant reduction in maternal complications, including polyhydramnios, postpartum hemorrhage, and preeclampsia, as well as neonatal complications such as neonatal pneumonia, macrosomia, and hypoglycemia. Conclusion: Comprehensive nursing interventions have a positive impact on maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnant women with GDM.
文摘Objectives:This study was conducted to determine the effect of multidisciplinary nursing intervention(MNI)on interdialytic weight gain(IDWG)and quality of life(QoL)among chronic hemodialysis patients.Materials and Methods:Quantitative research approach with randomized-controlled,single-blind trial was conducted among 120 chronic hemodialysis patients in Institute of Medical Sciences and SUM Hospital Bhubaneswar,Odisha,India from February 2023 to February 2024.Participants were randomly assigned into the experimental group(n1=65)and control group(n2=55)by block randomization methods.The experimental group received the intervention phase up to the 6th week,along with the usual treatment,and the control group received only standard treatment up to the end of the study.After that,they received the diet chart plan and fluid distribution timetable.Results:Significant improvements were found in IDWG and QoL for the experimental group.The experimental group exhibited a sharp decline in weight gain within the group(F=20.05,P<0.001)between the group(F=13.02,P<0.001),interaction effects between the groups across the time point(F=5.67,P<0.005).Kidney disease QoL scores(KDQOL^(TM)36)increased from 49.38±9.56 to 58.63±6.04 in the experimental group,compared to an increase from 50.84±9.25 to 52.04±8.02 in the control group.Conclusion:This trial showed that MNIs significantly reduced IDWG and improved KDQOL^(TM)36 scores,with the experimental group outperforming the control,highlighting the intervention’s effectiveness.
文摘Objective:To compare the nursing effects of routine care and specialized nursing intervention on patients with dysphagia during acute stroke.Methods:A total of 188 patients with acute stroke and dysphagia who received treatment at our hospital from May 2022 to December 2024 were selected as study subjects.The patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 94 patients in each group.The control group received routine nursing intervention,while the observation group received specialized nursing intervention.The general information,swallowing function,quality of life,and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in general information between the two groups(P>0.05).The SAS score of the observation group after nursing was significantly lower than that of the control group(t=19.463,P=0.000<0.001).After intervention,the number of patients with lung infection in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(χ2=7.309,P=0.007<0.01).The overall quality of life score of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group after intervention(P<0.001).The nursing satisfaction of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(χ^(2)=15.865,P=0.000<0.001).Conclusion:Compared with routine care,specialized nursing intervention can effectively improve the swallowing function of patients with dysphagia during acute stroke,enhance their quality of life,and increase nursing satisfaction.
文摘Objective:To systematically evaluate the effectiveness of research-oriented integrated nursing interventions on cancer pain management in hospitalized oncology patients in China.Methods:A computerized search of Chinese and English databases was conducted to identify relevant studies.Two researchers independently assessed the quality of included literature using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale(NOS).Data were extracted and analyzed via Stata 14.A random-effects model was applied due to significant heterogeneity(I²>50%).Sensitivity analysis and Egger’s test were performed to assess bias.Results:12 eligible studies(2014-2024)were included.Meta-analysis demonstrated that integrated nursing interventions significantly reduced cancer pain scores compared to routine care(SMD=-1.51,95%CI:-1.90 to-1.12;I²=84.8%),with superior efficacy.Subgroup-analyses revealed enhanced effects for“Nursing modes”(SMD=-2.11)and“cancer pain education”(SMD=-2.30).Conclusion:Research-oriented integrated nursing interventions significantly improve cancer pain management in Chinese hospitalized oncology patients,particularly through synergistic effects of“Nursing modes”and“can-cer pain education.”However,implementation bias from“additive interventions”in teaching hospitals and high heterogeneity warrant attention.Future studies should optimize designs to enhance clinical applicability.
文摘This study aimed to explore the specific application effect of specialist nursing intervention in intravenous therapy on elderly patients with peripherally inserted central catheters(PICC).From November 2023 to November 2024,a total of 60 elderly patients with PICC admitted to Guiqian International General Hospital were selected as research subjects.Using a digital random table method,these patients were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group,with 30 patients in each.The control group received routine nursing care,while the experimental group received specialized intravenous therapy nursing intervention in addition to routine care.The nursing effects of both groups were comprehensively evaluated,including treatment compliance,psychological state,quality of life,incidence of complications,and satisfaction with nursing care.The results showed that after the intervention,the treatment compliance in the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).Additionally,scores on the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)were markedly lower in the experimental group compared to the control group(P<0.05),indicating improved psychological well-being.The experimental group also scored higher in all dimensions of quality of life(P<0.05),and had a lower complication rate and higher satisfaction with nursing care(P<0.05).In conclusion,the application of specialized intravenous therapy nursing intervention in the care of elderly patients with PICC can significantly enhance treatment compliance,improve psychological status,elevate quality of life,and reduce complications,demonstrating strong clinical value and providing important guidance for future treatment and nursing of such patients.
文摘Objective:To explore the application value of the extended nursing intervention mode in senile dementia patients.Methods:A total of 60 cases of Alzheimer’s disease patients were selected as the research subjects and divided using the random number table method into the control group and the observation group,each with 30 cases.The control group adopted conventional nursing,while the observation group adopted the extended nursing model of this study.The self-care ability,quality of life,cognitive function,and the frequency of unsafe behaviors were compared between the two groups.Results:After 6 months of intervention,the results showed that the scores of all dimensions in the relevant data tables such as the activity of daily living(ADL)scale,simple intelligence scale,and health survey scale in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of unsafe behaviors in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(χ^(2)=5.963,P<0.05).Conclusion:Extended nursing plays a positive role in the nursing of Alzheimer’s patients,including improving their cognitive function and restoring their self-care ability,so as to significantly improve their quality of life and reduce the occurrence of unsafe behaviors.It can be seen that the extended nursing intervention mode can be vigorously promoted in clinical practice.
文摘Objective: Stroke is perceived as a serious illness although it is preventable, and lifestyle alterations can be made to reduce its risk. Improvement of stroke care should be achieved through awareness of public, especially through high-risk group. Henceforth, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nursing intervention on improving awareness of high-risk people about stroke prevention. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used to carry out this study, where a purposive sample of 80 adult patients at high risk for stroke were enrolled while they were attending the out-patient clinics of Zagazig University Hospitals for follow-up treatment;they were divided into two groups: case (40 patients) and control (40 patients). An interview questionnaire was used to assess patients’ knowledge regarding warning signs, risk factors, and immediate treatment;attitude;and their practice for prevention for stroke at pretest and posttest. Results: The study revealed the poor level of knowledge, bad level of preventive behavior, and negative attitude regarding stroke prevention at pre-intervention. However, after intervention, the high-risk people had fair level of knowledge with moderate practice for stroke prevention and positive attitude, with statistically significant difference between pre-post intervention and between the case and control groups. Conclusions: The study revealed that the nursing intervention seemed to change the knowledge, practice, and attitude of subjects regarding stroke prevention. This, in turn, implies that awareness of prevention of stroke and high-risk factor control could be important to reduce the burden of stroke in Egypt. Thus, further research on a larger scale is required to improve population knowledge and behavior for stroke prevention and control.
