Effect of high-quality nursing on neurological function psychological moods quality of life of elderly patients with stroke

Abstract

ObjectivesThe primary objective of the present investigation was to meticulously examine the efficacy of high-quality nursing care (HQN) on neurological restoration, amelioration of adverse psychological states, and augmentation of quality of life in geriatric patients diagnosed with acute cerebral infarction (ACI).MethodsA cohort of 240 patients, afflicted by ACI and admitted to our healthcare institution between February 2020 and March 2023, were incorporated into this longitudinal prospective analysis. Employing a random number table methodology, the patient cohort was bifurcated into a control group (n = 120) receiving conventional care and an observation group (n = 120) receiving HQN. Comparisons were conducted between the two cohorts concerning neurological functionality [as quantified by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scales (NIHSS) and Barthel Index (BI) scores], psychological wellbeing [utilizing the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores], overall quality of life [assessed via the Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 (GQOLI-74) scores], and self-perceived burden [evaluated through the Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS)]. Further assessments included patient satisfaction and incidence of complications, both in the pre- and post-interventional phases.ResultsPost-intervention, the observation group demonstrated superior outcomes compared to the control group, as evidenced by diminished NIHSS and SPBS scores and elevated BI metrics. Moreover, SAS and SDS scores in both groups manifested a decline post-intervention; however, the decrement was statistically more pronounced in the observation group (P < 0.05). Similarly, all dimensions of GQOLI-74 showed an upward trend in both cohorts, yet the increase was significantly more substantial in the observation group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the observation group exhibited a reduced frequency of complications coupled with heightened levels of nursing satisfaction.ConclusionThe implementation of HQN in the geriatric population afflicted by ACI markedly enhances neurological recuperation, attenuates adverse psychological states, and ameliorates overall quality of life. The intervention is also associated with a diminution in complication rates and an increase in nursing satisfaction, thereby substantiating its clinical utility.

Personalized and continuous care intervention affects rehabilitation, living quality, and negative emotions of patients with breast cancer

“…Negative emotions: Before and one and three months after care, the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and the self-rating depression scale (SDS)[ 7 ] were used to assess the negative emotions of patients. Both the SAS and SDS include 20 items, each of which can be rated on a scale of 1-4, with a total score of 20-80.…”

Effect of quality nursing care on wound pain and anxiety in burn patients: A meta‐analysis

“…Traditional routine care can no longer meet the clinical needs of burns patients, while quality care further optimises the care details and programmes on the basis of the combination of routine care, more patient‐centred and personalised care 8 . Quality care is a kind of nursing concept that adheres to the ‘patient‐centred’ principle and pays more attention to the psychological and spiritual health of patients while maintaining their safety and physical comfort 9 . Therefore, in order to effectively alleviate the pain of burn patients and significantly improve the symptoms of anxiety and depression, quality nursing services can be implemented for patients.…”

It has been proven that the implementation of quality care can reduce the intensity of postoperative pain and adverse reactions in cardiac surgery patients and promote recovery 10 ; it can reduce postoperative anxiety, depressive symptoms and psychological stress in patients with advanced non‐small cell lung cancer 11 ; it also improves the negative mood and quality of life of women with gestational hypertension and increases satisfaction with care.…”

Effect of quality nursing intervention on wound healing in patients with burns: A meta‐analysis

“…Quality care further optimises routine care and is based on a more patient‐centred and personalised approach 13 . Quality care is a nursing concept that adheres to the ‘patient‐centred’ principle, and pays more attention to the psychological and spiritual health of patients while maintaining their safety and physical comfort 14 . The aim of this study was to conduct a meta‐analysis of randomised controlled studies on the effects of quality nursing interventions in patients with burns, in order to provide medical evidence for the clinical application of quality nursing.…”
