ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of Internet plus rehabilitation nursing service and continual nursing on postoperative rehabilitation of patients with osteoporotic lumbar compression fracture (OLCF).Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 123 patients with OLCF admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Henan Medical College from May 2018 to October 2019. There were 46 males and 77 females, aged 56-74 years [(65.3±5.4)years]. The level of injury was located at L 1 in 93 patients, L 2 in 19, L 3 in 10, and L 4 in 1. The Denis fracture classification was type A in 26 patients, type B in 30, type C in 27, and type D in 40. All patients were treated by percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). A total of 62 patients were given Internet plus rehabilitation care services and continual care guidance (Group A), and 61 patients were given routine care health education before discharge (Group B). The Japanese orthopaedic association (JOA) score, visual analoge score (VAS), osteoporosis health confidence scale (OHBS) score, and adult health self-management ability assessment scale (AHSMSRS) score were recorded before and after intervention. The self-made questionnaires and Newcastle nursing service satisfaction scale (NSNS) were used to evaluate the compliance rate and nursing satisfaction after 3 months of intervention. Results:All patients were followed up for 3-6 months [(4.5±1.2)months]. In Group A, the JOA score was (12.1±2.1)points before intervention and (23.0±1.1)points after 3 months of intervention; the VAS was (4.4±1.3)points before intervention and (1.5±0.6)points after 3 months of intervention; the OHBS score was (81.4±4.0)points before intervention and (121.6±9.7)points after 3 months of intervention; the AHSMSRS score was (96.3±3.5)points before intervention and (143.5±11.0)points after 3 months of intervention. In Group B, the JOA score was (12.3±2.1)points before intervention and (20.4±1.2)points after 3 months of intervention; the VAS was (4.2±1.4)points before intervention and (3.6±1.1)points after 3 months of intervention; the OHBS score was (82.1±3.7)points before intervention and (108.7±9.4)points after 3 months of intervention; the AHSMSRS score was (97.1±3.8)points before intervention and (127.7±9.9)points after 3 months of intervention. The JOA score, VAS, OHBS score and AHSMSRS score in both groups were significantly improved after intervention ( P<0.01). These scores in Group A were higher than those in Group B after 3 months of intervention ( P< 0.01). The compliance rate and nursing satisfaction in Group A were 90% (56/62) and 94% (58/62) after 3 months of intervention, while those in Group B were 74% (45/61) and 75% (46/61) ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusion:Compared with conventional nursing, Internet plus rehabilitation nursing service and continual nursing for OLCF patients can promote the postoperative lumbar functional recovery, reduce pain, improve self-management ability and compliance behavior, and enhance the recognition of nursing service, which is worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the level of uncertainty of illness and social support state in patients with prediabetes,and to discuss the correlation between the two.Methods 243 cases with prediabetes were analyzed by Uncertainty in Illness Scale and Social Support Rating Scale.Results There was a middle uncertainty in the elderly patients with prediabetes.The objective support,sabjective support,social support utilization degree and social support score were negatively related to the complexity of uncertainty(r--0.419,-0.433,-0.390 and-0.421,respectively,all P＜ 0.05).Conclusions Medical staff should evaluate the uncertainty in illness in elderly patients with prediabetes and conduct nursing intervention accordingly,in order to reduce the uncertainty,increase social support,and ultimately improve the quality of life.
