Application of overall nursing intervention in PET/MR imaging in children with epilepsy / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the application value of overall nursing intervention in PET/MR imaging in children with epilepsy.Methods:A total of 48 pediatric epilepsy patients who underwent PET/MR imaging in the Nuclear Medicine Department of the First Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital from July 2018 to October 2019 were enrolled. Among them, 24 patients with overall nursing intervention were used as the experimental group, and 24 patients were routine nursing intervention patients, who were served as the normal control group, and the examination time, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) scores and patient satisfaction scores (filled in by the patient′s guardian) of the experimental group and the control group were collected and compared.Results:The inspection time of the experimental group was (15.1±0.5) min, significantly lower than (24.8±1.3) min of the control group ( tvalue was 32.940, P<0.01); the SAS score of the experimental group was (35.7±4.2) points, lower than(43.8±3.3) points of the control group ( tvalue was 7.357, P<0.01), and the patient satisfaction score was (92.8±5.5) points, higher than (69.8±11.1) points of the control group ( tvalue was 9.088, P<0.01 or 0.05). Conclusion:Overall nursing intervention in PET/MR imaging of pediatric patients with epilepsy can significantly cut down the examination time, reduce the anxiety of patients′ family members and improve the satisfaction of nursing care. It lays the foundation for clinicians to further accurately diagnose epilepsy foci and has important application value.
