Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of continuous nursing on improving the disease awareness and self-care ability of patients with temporary intestinal stoma and reducing complications related to the intestinal stoma. Methods A total of 80 cases of temporary intestinal stoma patients who were admitted to the Chaozhou People′s Hospital in Guangdong Province from February 2018 to June 2020 were selected and divided into the observation group and the control group by random number table method, 40 cases in each group. The patients in observation group were given continuous nursing, and in the control group, they were given regular nursing. The incidence of stoma-related complications, on-time return, patient self-care ability, quality of life, nursing satisfaction, and psychological status between the two groups were compared. Results The self-care ability, on-time return, quality of life and nursing satisfaction scores of patients in the observation group after nursing were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05); the total incidence of stoma-related complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Continuous nursing has a good prognostic effect on improving patients′ quality of life, self-care ability, ensuring timely return of the intestinal stoma, and reducing complications. It is worthy of promotion in clinical applications.
