Development of a constant temperature disinfection device and evaluation of its clinical application effect / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To develop a constant temperature disinfection device and evaluate its clinical effect in perineal disinfection after delivery.Methods:A total of 300 cases of puerpera who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected from Heping Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from November to December 2020. The study was designed as a randomized control study. Subjects were randomly divided by random digit table into the control group and the experimental group of 150 cases respectively. The former used conventional methods for perineal disinfection after delivery. The latter performed perineal disinfection assisted by a thermostatic disinfection device. The temperature comfort of perineal disinfection and the perineal wound healing of perineal tear or lateral incision were compared between two groups.Results:The score of temperature comfort feeling of puerpera in the control group and the experimental group was 3 (1.5) and 5 (0), respectively. The maternal temperature comfort feeling score in the experimental group was higher, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( Z=-13.78, P<0.05). There was no grade C healing of perineal wounds in the two groups. The composition ratios of grade A and grade B healing of perineal wounds in the control group were 89.61% (69/77) and 10.39% (8/77), and those in the experimental group were 93.75% (90/96) and 6.25% (6/96). The healing of perineal wound in the latter group was better, but the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant ( Z=0.99, P>0.05). Conclusions:The constant temperature disinfection device meets the clinical nursing needs, enhances the comfort experience of puerpera, and has certain effect on promoting the healing of perineal wound after delivery.
