Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of continuous nursing on rehabilitation of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). METHODS: In this prospective study, 150 patients were treated for AIS at our hospital from January 2017 to December 2019. The patients were separated into two groups: the conventional group (n = 75) that received conventional nursing and the continuous nursing group (n = 75) were treated with continuous nursing intervention. Patients were followed up for compliance, negative mood, living quality, nursing satisfaction, and daily living abilities. RESULTS: The compliance rate of the continuous nursing group (93.33%) was obviously higher than that of the conventional nursing group (85.33%, P<0.05). There was no obvious difference in the negative mood scores between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05); however, the negative mood scores of the two groups decreased after intervention. In particular, the scores in continuous nursing group were obviously lower than that in the conventional nursing group (P<0.05). After intervention, the living quality scores in the continuous nursing group were obviously higher than that in the conventional nursing group (P<0.05). The satisfaction of nurses in the continuous nursing (96.00%) was obviously higher than that in the conventional nursing group (70.00%, P<0.05). The Barthel index (BI) scores in the continuous nursing group were obviously higher than those in the conventional nursing at 1 d, 7 d, and 30 d after intervention (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrated that continuous nursing can enhance the rehabilitation compliance of patients with AIS, alleviate the negative mood of patients, enhance the living quality and daily living ability of patients.
