EFFECTS OF NURSING INTERVENTION ON THE REHABILITATION OF PATIENTS WITH BENIGN PAROXYSMAL POSITIONAL VERTIGO / 现代医院

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of nursing intervention on the rehabilitation of patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).Methods 64 BPPV patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 32 cases in each group.The control group received otorhinolaryngology routine nursing, while the observation group was managed with continuously systemic nursing interventions, including manipulative re-duction, psychological nursing intervention, health education, head nursing, follow -up and family nursing interven-tion.The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) were applied to evaluate the intervention effects.Results Cure rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and recurrence rate of the observation group was obviously lower than that of the control group(p <0.05).The anxiety and depression assessment of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group, with statistical difference (p <0.05).Conclusion Systemic nursing intervention can effectively improve the rehabilita-tion of patients with BPPV, and reduce recurrence rate.
