Effects Of A Continuous Nursing Intervention On Quality Of Life For Stroke Patients

PurposesTo evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of continuous nursing intervention on stroke patients'daily activity ability and quality of life after discharge,so as to provide evidence for future continuous nursing intervention.Methods1 One hundred and twenty stroke patients were randomly assigned into intervention group and control group with sixty patients in each group,the patients in intervention group receive regular telephone follow-up for six months.2 Data were collected when patients after discharge hospital one month,three months,six months,including the ability of daily living and the quality of life.Using Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire(SF-36) and Barthel Index(BI) to evaluate them.3 Data were analyzed with SPSS 16.0,including descriptive statistics,chi-square text,T test,analysis of variance of repeated measurement,etc.Results1 The results of repeated-measures analysis of variance indicated that the intervention group shown a better recovery of total qualityof life(.P<0.01),statistical difference in total quality of life scores were identified between the intervention group and the control group after discharge hospital one month, three months, six months(P< 0.05).2 The results of repeated-measures analysis of variance indicated that the intervention group shown a better recovery of physical function role-physical and bodily pain(P< 0.05),there are statistical differences in the three dimensions between two groups at one month,three months and six months respectively(P< 0.05).3 The results of a repeated-measures analysis of variance showed that the intervention group had a better recovery of total health,role-emotion(P< 0.05),there are statistical differences in the two dimensions between two groups at three months,six months respectively(P<0.05),no statistical differences were shown at one month(P<0.05).4 The results of a repeated-measures analysis of variance indicated that statistical differences in mental health and social function scores were identified between the two groups at three months and six months respectively after intervention(P<0.05).5 The results of a repeated-measures analysis of variance showed that the intervention group had a better recovery of the ability of daily living (P<0.05),there are statistical differences in the dimension between two groups at one month,three months,six months respectively(P<0.05).ConclusionsThe continuous nursing intervention is a safe and effective intervention style,It can improve stroke patients'ability of daily living and total quality of life,We should promote this intervention style.
