Managing hypertension is not only concerned with lowering blood pressure by using antihypertensive medications;it also aims to minimize its consequences through adopting self-care practices. Compliance with self-care practices among patients with hypertension is considered a multidimensional phenomenon. The phenomenon of hypertension has been studied quantitatively, however;little qualitative studies were conducted to understand the compliance with self-care among patients with hypertension. Aim: To understand the process that patients with hypertension go through to comply with self-care practices. Methods: This study used a qualitative design that followed constructivist grounded theory approach;purposive sampling was used to recruit participants from cardiac clinics;semi structured, in-depth and face-to-face interview was used as a major method for data collection. Findings: Four participants with hypertension participated in this study;the phenomena of self-care was identified as the central phenomena;the start of the disease was identified as a casual condition;beliefs toward hypertension disease, beliefs toward self-care practices, knowledge and awareness regarding hypertension disease and self-care practices were identified as strategies;experiencing self-care practices was identified as consequence and being patients with hypertension in a social context. Conclusions: The process of compliance with self-care has a path of actions and interactions. The process started from the moment of diagnosis where the patients start to think about self-care. The absence of health care context leads to varying level of compliance with self-care among patients with hypertension. This indicated the need for more effective patient and health care provider relationship, education and awareness campaign.展开更多

This article presents strategies for improving the efficiency of patient transfers, particularly in hospitals where intensive care units are located in buildings separate from general wards. Patient transfers comprise several steps: physicians issue orders, relatives are notified, equipment is prepared, and medical staff coordinate. We identified three factors that influence transfer time: preparation time for bed transfer, time required for shift handovers, and time required for between-ward patient movement. Unfamiliarity with transfer routes and long elevator wait times were factors that also influenced transfer time. The following strategies were proposed: develop a standardized material checklist, design key notes for patient transfers, and optimize transfer routes. These strategies reduced transfer times by 40% to 43%. This study demonstrates that by addressing logistical challenges and streamlining relevant procedures, hospitals can enhance safety and quality of care during patient transfers.展开更多

Methods: 74 patients with acute cerebral infarction who were treated in our hospital from June 2020 to June 2021 were collected and divided into two groups according to the date of admission. The control group (37 cases) received routine first aid and the observation group (37 cases) received first aid by applying the improved first aid nursing process. The first aid time, clinical curative effect, prognosis level and living ability of the two groups were compared. Results: the time of triage, referral, blood collection, CT examination and rescue in the observation group was significantly shortened (P < 0.05). The scores of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Glasgow (GOS) were higher than those of the control group (GOS), while the scores of National Institutes of Health (NIHSS) were lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The results showed that the total therapeutic effect of the treatment group was 91.89%, which was higher than that of the control group 72.97% (p < 0.05). After emergency treatment, simple Fugl-Meyers motor ability assessment (FMA) and daily living ability (ADL) scores were higher than those of the normal population (P<0.05). Conclusion: the application of improved first aid nursing process in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction with rt-PA can shorten the first aid time, improve the curative effect, and help to further promote the recovery of patients ability to live.展开更多

Methods: the study subjects were emergency chest pain patients, all patients treated in the emergency department of our hospital, and the patients were admitted from August 2020 to March 2022. The total number of patients admitted during this time period was 100, dividing all the study subjects into two groups, namely, the observation group and the control group. The sample size of 50 cases in both groups was 50 cases, and different emergency care procedures were adopted. The former was the optimized emergency care method, and the latter was the routine method. Finally, the application effect of the two groups was compared and analyzed. Results: after emergency care intervention treatment, the two groups of first aid, evaluation, hospital time comparison, the study confirmed that compared with the control group, the time index of rescue effect and adverse events, the observation group in rescue efficiency more advantage, and the control group has a high incidence of adverse events, the results are statistically significant (P <0.05). Conclusion: in the rescue process of patients with acute chest pain, if the emergency nursing process can be optimized, it will help to shorten the time of first aid, evaluation and hospitalization, improve the chance of rescue success of patients, reduce the chance of adverse events, and help the recovery of patients, which is worth promoting.展开更多

Methods: a total of 92 clinical patients admitted to Jintan District People's Hospital of Changzhou City in Jiangsu Province in 2019 were selected as the research object and divided into the conventional group and the research group, each with 46 cases. The mortality rate and disability rate of the patients were observed. Results: the death rate and disability rate of the patients in the research group were lower than those in the conventional group, and the data difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: the optimization of emergency nursing process for stroke patients can improve the quality of patient care, so it can be popularized.展开更多

Methods: Seventy-two patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction who were admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to December 2020 were selected as the main subjects of this study. They were divided into the control group/observation group. Among them, the control group received routine emergency care while the observation group received standardized emergency care procedures based on the routine emergency care measures, so as to compare the differences in the care procedures and patient care quality of the two patients during the emergency treatment. The difference was large, and the condition of the observation group was better. Finally, through the analysis of two groups of patients after treatment, and then investigate the family members and patients' satisfaction with care. The clinical results showed that the efficacy of 88.9% in the observation group was significantly superior to 66.7% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: through analyzing the different nursing procedures of patients in two groups, it was found that the standardized emergency nursing procedures shortened the basic treatment time of patients and improved the success rate of rescue, providing a larger space for the treatment of patients, and the families were also satisfied with it.展开更多
