Abstract:Objective To explore the application effect of "Internet+home nursing" in voluntary nursing services. Methods A total of 82 people in need of service by the "365 platform for party and mass service" from December 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the research subjects. They were divided into control group (41 cases) and observation group (41 cases) by random number table method. The control group was provided with routine medical services, and the observation group was provided with "Internet + home care" services. Both groups received continuous care for 12 months. The number of hospital visits, medical expenses, daily living ability, mental state, caregiver care skill level and life satisfaction of the two groups were compared. Results The number of hospital visits and medical expenses in observation group were lower than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The score of activities of daily living (ADL) in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the score of mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and nursing skill level in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, with statistical significances (P<0.05). The scores of post-nursing life satisfaction rating (LSR) in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, with statistical significances (P<0.05). Conclusion Through internet platforms, nursing volunteers can provide home care to the service population, which can improve the mental state of the service population, promote their physical and mental health, improve their ability to take care of themselves, improve the nursing skills of caregivers, reduce the number of visits and medical expenses to a certain extent, and thus improve the satisfaction of service personnel.
