ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effect of transitional care on the quality of life of patients with pancreatitis.Methods:We searched the following databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBM, and WanFang Data electronically. Other sources as applying were also retrieved. Comprehensive collection of continuing care on the quality of life in patients with pancreatitis related research. According to the evaluation method of Cochrane system, the quality evaluation and data extraction were carried out, and the RevMan 5.3 software was used for Meta analysis.Results:A total of 21 randomized controlled trials involving 1 818 patients (910/908) were included. SF-36 health survey scale, analysis of 8 Meta subgroups showed that all groups P<0.05, and the combined effect was statistically significant. The results of the intervention with telephone as the main outcome indicator were maintaining a regular lifestyle [weight mean difference ( WMD) value was 4.33, 95% confidence interval ( CI)2.52-7.44, P<0.01], quitting smoking and drinking ( WMD value was 5.95, 95% CI 3.69-9.59, P<0.01), maintaining a healthy diet ( WMD value was 8.62, 95% CI 5.07-9.59, P<0.01). Continuous nursing based on telephone intervention can reduce the recurrence rate ( WMD value was 0.20, 95% CI 0.13-0.31, P<0.01). Meta-analysis based on the intervention of establishing archives for continuous nursing showed that WMD value was 0.25, 95% CI 0.12-0.52, P<0.01, and archives and telephone showed that WMD value was 0.24, 95% CI 0.09-0.63, P=0.004, and the combined effect was statistically significant. Conclusions:Continuous nursing can improve the quality of life of patients with pancreatitis, improve the compliance with medical advice, and reduce the recurrence rate, but it needs to be further verified by a large sample, high-quality, multi-centered randomized controlled trial.
