Effects of Emergency Nursing Procedure on Quality of First Aid for Patients with Acute Cerebral Infarction
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effects of emergency nursing procedure on the quality of first aid for patients with acute cerebral infarction.
Methods: A total of 120 patients with acute cerebral infarction admitted to the emergency department of our hospital from January 2017 to December 2019 were enrolled and divided into control group (n=60) and observation group (n=60) by the random number table. The control group was administrated with conventional emergency nursing while the observation group received emergency nursing procedure. The rescue success rate, rescue time, triage evaluation time, referral time, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, ability of daily life (ADL) score, adverse emotion score and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.
Results: No significant difference was observed in the rescue success rate between the two groups (P>0.05), but the rescue time, triage evaluation time and referral time in observation group were shorter than those in control group (P<0.05). NIHSS score and ADL score of the two groups were ameliorated after nursing compared with those before nursing (P<0.05). After nursing, NIHSS score was lower in observation group in comparison with that in control group, ADL score in observation group was higher than that in control group, and the differences were significant (P<0.05). Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores of the two groups were lower after nursing compared with those before nursing (P<0.05), and after nursing, SAS and SDS scores were lower in observation group in comparison with those in control group (P<0.05). The overall satisfaction rate of nursing was higher in observation group (96.67%) than that in control group (83.33%), and the difference was significant (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The emergency nursing procedure utilized in the emergency nursing of patients with acute cerebral infarction can effectively shorten the rescue time, ameliorate neurological function and ability of daily life, relieve patients' adverse emotion, and improve the overall satisfaction rate of nursing
