ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the effect of family involvement in nursing on the recovery effect of children with thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).Methods:A total of 55 children with ITP in our hospital who were not given family involvement in nursing between January and December 2017 were included in the control group and 63 children with ITP who were given family involvement in nursing between January and December 2018 were included in the observation group. The hospital stay, platelet count (PLT) recovery time, compliance (emotional control, diet, medication), mastery of health knowledge of family members and short-term prognosis were compared between the 2 groups.Results:The recovery time of PLT count (30-50)×10 9/L and (51-100)×10 9/L in the observation group was (1.97±0.56) d, (3.41±0.45) d, which was shorter than those of the control group [(2.79±0.59) d, (4.02±1.22) d] ( t value was 7.739, 3.693, P < 0.05). The scores of emotional control, dietary compliance and medication compliance and total score of compliance of the observation group on the day of discharge were 7.25 ± 1.17 , 8.18 ± 1.19 , 7.47 ± 1.35 , 21.26 ± 4.92, which were higher than those of the control group (5.11 ± 1.34, 5.79 ± 1.25, 4.86 ± 1.75, 15.76 ± 4.34) ( t value was -10.630- -6.397, all P < 0.05). On the day of discharge, the scores of condition monitoring, prevention of complications, dietary guidance, medication guidance, mastery of health knowledge and total score of family members of the observation group were higher than those of the control group ( t value was -7.705-5.949, all P< 0.05). Conclusions:Family involvement in nursing can improve the mastery of health knowledge about ITP of family members and children′s compliance, which is conductive to the recovery of PLT count in children with ITP. It may improve the short-term prognosis.
