Abstract:
Objective To discuss the impact of standardized continuity nursing on discharged children with bronchial asthma.
Methods Sixty children with bronchial asthma hospitalized from January, 2015 to October, 2017 were selected. The odd-numbered mantissa numbers were included into control group and even numbers were divided into experimental group, with 30 cases in each group. Control group was provided with routine care, discharge guidance and telephone follow-up the first week after discharge, while the observation group extended to 24 weeks after discharge based on the telephone follow-up, every 4 weeks with a total of 7 times, and answer questions encountered in the family management. At the time of discharge, the first week of discharge and the 24th week of discharge, both groups were scored according to the Asthma Control Test (ACT), and daily variation rate monitored by the peak expiratory flow (PEF). ACT scores and daily variation of PEF were compared between the two groups.
Results The differences of ACT score and PEF diurnal variability between the two groups at 24 weeks after discharge were statistically significant. The ACT score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, while the PEF diurnal variation rate was significantly lower than that of the control group(
P<0.05).
Conclusion Standardization of continuous nursing can significantly improve the ACT score of discharged children with bronchial asthma, reduce the daily variability of PEF, reduce the risk of asthma recurrence and improve children's quality of life.
