Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to determine the effect of high-quality nursing intervention on negative emotions, quality of life and activities of daily living (ADL) of elderly patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). METHODS:Totally 115 elderly PD patients treated in our hospital from March 2018 to September 2019 were selected as the research participants. According to different nursing intervention methods, they were divided into two groups. The research group (RG) (65 cases) received high-quality nursing intervention, while the control group (CG) (50 cases) received routine nursing intervention. The adverse reactions, negative emotions, quality of life, ADL, PSQI, MDRSPD scores and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: After nursing intervention, the incidence of adverse reactions in the RG was dramatically lower than that in the CG. Before nursing intervention, there was no marked difference in the scores of quality of life, ADL and MDRSPD between the two groups. But after nursing, those scores in the RG were markedly higher than those in the CG. Before nursing intervention, there was no remarkable difference in SAS, SDS and PSQI scores between both groups, but after that, the scores of the RG were obviously lower than those of the CG. After nursing intervention, the nursing satisfaction of patients in the RG was dramatically higher than that in the CG. CONCLUSION:High-quality nursing intervention for elderly PD patients can dramatically improve their negative emotions, quality of life and ADL, and promote recovery of motor function. AJTR
