Effect of continuous nursing on PICC patients with intermittent chemotherapy during chemotherapy based on WeChat platform / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the continuity nursing effect of WeChat platform on PICC patients with intermittent chemotherapy. Methods 150 patients with primary PICC intubation tumor were selected as the study object, and were divided into three groups according to the order of treatment, each group of 50 cases. The control group adopted the traditional health education mode; the observation group 1 pushed PICC catheter maintenance related content three times a week based on WeChat platform on the basis of routine health education, and the observation group 2 on the basis of routine health education pushed PICC catheter maintenance related content, collected questions three times and answered questions for everyone in the Weixin group. The PICC self-management ability and incidence of catheter-related complications of the three groups were compared after 3 months. Results The scores of PICC self-management ability in the three groups were (133.84±5.67), (142.36±8.62) and (148.76±6.52). There was significant difference in the scores of PICC self-management ability between the three groups (F=56.384, P<0.05). The incidence of catheter-related complications in the three groups were 14% (7/50), 4% (2/50) and 2% (1/50), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=6.643, P<0.05) between the three groups. The incidence of catheter-related complications was statistically significant only in the control group compared with the observation group 2 (χ2=4.891, P<0.05). Conclusions Continuous nursing based on Weixin platform can improve the self-management ability of PICC catheterization patients during the intermittent period of chemotherapy. Continuous nursing based on Weixin group chat can reduce the incidence of catheter-related complications, which is worthy of wide clinical recommendation.
