Evidence-based practice to reduce the incidence of severe oral mucositis in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation / 中国现代医生

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To explore the effect of evidence-based practice on reducing the incidence of severe oral mucositis in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.Methods A multidisciplinary team was set up to carry out quality control circle activities according to the Australia Joanna Briggs Institute evidence-based health care model.Evidence-based evidence was combined with continuous quality improvement to evaluate the obstacle factors and promoting factors in the implementation process,and an evidence-based practice plan was constructed.The practice reform was carried out from three aspects:Formulating the grading nursing process of oral mucositis,improving the evaluation tools and strengthening the health education of patients.The incidence of severe oral mucositis,average hospitalization days and oral health-related quality of life of patients with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation before and after the practice were compared.Results After evidence-based nursing practice,the incidence of severe oral mucositis decreased from 67%to 34%.The average length of hospital stay decreased from 25.93 days to 24.70 days,and the average score of oral health-related quality of life decreased from 28.0 points to 17.5 points.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion By introducing evidence,quality control circle activities can effectively reduce the incidence of severe oral mucositis and average hospitalization days in patients with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation,improve the oral health-related quality of life of patients.
