Application of Personalized Nursing Can Reduce the Depression and Promote the Functional Recovery of Cerebral Infarction Patients
Abstract
Objective: This paper aimed to explore the application of personalized nursing to reduce the depression and promote the limb function recovery of cerebral infarction (CI) patients.
Methods: Two hundred patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to January 2019 were enrolled as research objects, of which 120 were treated with personalized nursing (an observation group) and 80 were treated with routine nursing (a control group). The patients were compared with respect to their surgical indications [length of hospital stay (LOS), arterial pressure (AP), heart rate (HR)], limb recovery [muscle strength grading, Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) score, Barthel Index (BI) score], neurological function recovery [National Institute of Health Stroke Scale
(NIHSS) score, Scandinavian Stroke Study (SSS) score], post-nursing mental health [SelfRating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score, Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) score], total effective rate, and incidence of postoperative adverse reactions. Their postoperative satisfaction was investigated.
Results: Compared with the control group, patients in the observation group had better surgical indications, more grades 4 and 5 muscle strength, higher FMA and BI scores, lower post-nursing NIHSS, SSS, SAS, and SDS scores, lower incidence of adverse reactions, and higher total effective rate and satisfaction.
Conclusion: The application of personalized nursing can effectively reduce the depression and anxiety of CI patients, and better promote their limb function recovery, so it is worthy of clinical promotion.
