Effect of evidence-based nursing on rehabilitation of type 2 diabetic foot ulcers after transverse tibial bone transportation / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective Based on the principle of evidence-based nursing, we searched, studied and summarized a nursing pathway for patients who after transverse tibial bone transportation, and explored its effect. Methods With A set of targeted nursing intervention program, 17 patients with type 2 diabetic foot patients after transverse tibial bone transportation were nursed. After 2 months, the percentage of ulcer decreased, the visual analogue scale and the temperature of foot dorsum were used to evaluate the nursing effect. Results The average temperature of foot dorsum was (28.49±1.12)℃, the average visual analogue scale was (4.06 ± 1.40). And after 2 months, the average temperature of foot dorsum was (29.97± 1.26)℃, the average visual analogue scale was (1.94±1.92), and the area of ulcer in 15 cases (2 cases could not be counted due to toe amputations in treatment) decreased by 25%~100% , with an average of 59% , compared with that before intervention. Conclusions The implementation of evidence-based nursing can provide effective nursing intervention, relieve the pain of patients, and promote the rehabilitation of diabetic foot ulcers after transverse tibial bone transportation.
