ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the management knowledge and attitudes of dysphagia in stroke patients in Nanning neurology nurses, and to provide evidence for clinical knowledge training and improvement of clinical nursing quality.@*Methods@#A total of 360 neurology nurses from 7 different levels of hospitals in Nanning were investigated for knowledge and attitudes about stroke dysphagia management.@*Results@#The average score of management knowledge of neurological nurses was 54.52±15.51, and the average score of attitude was 45.12±3.90. There was significant difference in the knowledge score of nurses from different hospital level, ages and titles (t=-1.007, P=0.035; F=3.994, P=0.009; F=0.347, P=0.002). There was significant difference in the attitudes score of nurses from different ages and titles (t=7.435, P=0.007); 61.1% (220/360) of nurses did not learn stroke management guidelines for dysphagia; 60%(216/360) of nurses administered dysphagia were based on their own experience, 73.9%(266/360) of nurses believe that the reason for hindering their own swallowing management is the lack of relevant knowledge and skills.@*Conclusions@#Neurology nurses have a positive attitude towards stroke management of dysphagia, but lack of knowledge. Nurses with low age, low professional title and low working years have poor knowledge of management of stroke dysphagia. Nursing managers should carry out targeted training for nurses, provide more education and training opportunities to improve the knowledge and service quality of nurses with dysphagia.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To improve the effectiveness of incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) prevention and management by establishment skin care quality indicators and controlling the implementation process of incontinence care.@*Methods@#The implementation rate of nursing measures (the treatment rate of incontinence, the effective collection of fecal implementation rate, and the rate of skin protection implementation) were used as the process indicators, and the incidence of IAD was used as the outcome indicators. 2747 incontinence patients from July to December 2016 before the implementation of the process control were used as the control group, and 3, 069 incontinence patients from July to December 2017 after the implementation of the process control were used as observation groups. Comparing the difference between the two groups of process indicators and outcome indicators.@*Results@#The control group's implementation rate of incontinence, effective collection of fecal implementation rate, and skin protection implementation rate were 54.2%, 63.8%, and 27.7%, respectively. The observation group was 91.8%, 94.8%, and 92.8%, respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant. (χ2=5.032, P=0.025; χ2=6.574, P=0.010; χ2=20.038, P=0.000;). The incidence of IAD in the control group was 28.9%, and the incidence in the observation group was 11.2%. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=288.402, P=0.000).@*Conclusion@#The establishment of incontinence nursing quality indicators and the implementation of process control will help improve the level of incontinence care and reduce the incidence of IAD.
