ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the micro vibration with the hand nursing methods for disuse syndrome patients constipation curative effect. Methods During the time of March 2016 to September, 76 patients who had long term disuse syndrome with the constipation in two Elderly Care Homes in Urumqi were randomly divided into intervention group (n=37) and control group (n=39), in the experimental group, was treated by manual micro vibration nursing method which included hand micro vibration therapy, exercise therapy, health education guidance once a day, 50 minutes each time, a total of 4 weeks of intervention, while the control group received routine rehabilitation nursing. Before the intervention, intervention after 4 weeks, follow-up period after the end of 8 weeks according to the symptoms of constipation and evaluate the stool frequency. Results Preliminary experimental group and control group patients have different degrees of constipation symptoms, with the hand micro vibration method of nursing intervention, the experimental group had not constipation of symptoms, 17(43.6%) had constipation symptoms in the control group. Compared with the incidence of two groups of constipation patients. Before the intervention, intervention after 4 weeks, follow-up period after the end of 8 weeks, the experimental group patients defecation frequency was (5.33 ± 1.47), (29.70 ± 6.49) , (43.41 ± 6.15)times, The control group patients was(5.77 ± 1.39), (13.10 ± 1.27), (21.15 ± 4.23) time, comparison of the two groups, t=-1.357, 15.275, 18.458, P=0.179, 0.000, 0.000. Conclusions Hand micro vibration nursing method has remarkable effect on relieving constipation, and the treatment effect can be maintained for a long time, no recurrence occurred and adverse reactions, however, this method also economic, convenient, less time consuming and efficient.
