ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the factors related with swallowing function after stroke. Methods Stroke patients with dysphagia were reviewed, 296 cases with pseudobulbar paralysis, and 82 cases with bulbar paralysis. Swallowing function was evaluated with videoflu-oroscopic swallowing study (VFSS). The variable of age, sex, Body Mass Index (BMI), scores of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Simplified Fug-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and modified Barthel Index (MBI), intubation, aspiration, length of hospitalization (LOH), and initiation of rehabilitation intervention were analyzed with Logistic regression. Results Age, NIHSS score, intubation, aspira-tion, initiation of rehabilitation intervention were the risk factors for poor outcome of swallowing function in all the patients, while the score of MBI was the protective factor for the pseudobulbar paralysis ones. Conclusion The younger the patients, the less the NIHSS score, no in-tubation, no aspiration, and the earlier the rehabilitation intervened, the more independent the pseudobulbar paralysis patients, the better swallowing function recovered.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To study the effect of the scene teaching on the needle stick injury in nursing students. Methods 43 nursing students of grade 2011 were as control group, 53 ones of grade 2012 as intervention group. The intervention group was introduced the definition,the harm of needle stick injury and the basic protection knowledge, shown the scene of needle stick injuries often occurred, and trained to prevent the needle stick injury a day before internship. The control group was not given any intervention. Results 48.84% and 20.75% of students of the control and the intervention groups occurred needle stick injury during the internship, and the frequencies were 1.36 and 0.42 per person-year, respectively (P<0. 05). Conclusion Scene simulation teaching can effectively reduce the incidence of needle stick injuries of nursing students, that is valuable for the occupational protective education of nursing students.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of intensive education among the families on nutritional status of the stroke patients with dysphagia. Methods 42 stroke patients with dysphagia diagnosed with Standard Swallowing Assessment were enrolled in the study. The pa-tients and their families were randomly divided into intervention group (21 pairs) and control group (21 pairs). The families of the interven-tion group were given the intensive health education, 5~10 minutes each time, once a week for 1 month. The families of the control group were only given routine health education. The two groups of patients received conventional drug and swallowing function training. Hemo-globin (Hb), serum albumin (ALB), contralateral brachial triceps skin fold thickness (TSF) and arm muscle circumference (AMC) were mea-sured 1 month latter. Results Hb, ALB, TSF and AMC in the intervention group were higher than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Intensive education among the families may improve the nutritional status of stroke patients with dysphagia.
