Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of rehabilitation nursing combined with conservative therapy on patients undergoing compression fracture surgery. METHODS: 86 patients with compression fractures admitted to our hospital for rehabilitation from November 2018 to November 2019 were recruited as the study cohort. The patients were provided with conservative traditional Chinese medicine treatment along with rehabilitation methods such as rehabilitation nursing, lumbar pillows, and the prevention and cure of complications. The post-treatment effects and related influencing factors were observed. RESULTS: A single-factor analysis showed the significant effect of the rehabilitation measures combined with the conservative treatment. Specifically, 80.23% of the patients positively responded to management with lumbar pillows, and the response rates of the other methods, including rehabilitation nursing, conservative TCM treatment, the prevention of complications, and the go-to-ground activity were 68.60%, 52.33%, 94.19%, and 73.26%, respectively. The response rates of the patients who did not undergo the combined treatment were 19.77%, 31.40%, 46.67%, 5.81%, and 26.74%, respectively. The differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Also, the overall response rate of the combination therapy was 69.76%. In addition, the logistic regression analysis indicated that lumbar pillows (OR = 0.488, P = 0.036), rehabilitation nursing (OR = 12.23, P = 0.017), conservative TCM treatment (OR = 1.023, P = 0.533), the prevention of complications (OR = 2.293, P = 0.026) and go-to-ground activity (OR = 2.311, P = 0.021) were independent factors in elderly compression fractures. CONCLUSION: Rehabilitation nursing combined with conservative treatment can shorten the healing period and improve functional recovery in elderly compression fracture patients. AJTR
