Abstract:Objective To investigate application effect of the holistic nursing in patients with bronchial asthma.Methods A total of 68 patients with bronchial asthma treated in our hospital from August 2017 to August 2019 were selected as the research objects.According to the alternating grouping method, they were divided into reference group (n=34)and nursing group (n=34).The reference group was adopted conventional nursing method, and the nursing group was adopted holistic nursing method.The changes in anxiety and depression, lung function improvement, and quality of life before and after nursing in the two groups were compared.Results Before nursing, there were no significant differences in the anxiety self-rating scale (SAS) and depression self-rating scale (SDS) between the two groups of patients (P>0.05).After nursing, the SAS and SDS scores of the patients in the nursing group were lower than those in the reference group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Before nursing, there was no significant difference in pulmonary function indicators (arterial oxygen saturation [SaO2], peak expiratory flow rate [PEF]) between the two groups of patients (P>0.05).After nursing, the levels of SaO2 and PEF in the nursing group were higher than those in the reference group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Before nursing, there was no significant difference in the scores of the asthma quality of life questionnaire (AQLQ) between the two groups of patients (P>0.05).After nursing, the AQLQ scores of asthma symptoms, limited mobility, physiological status, self-health concerns, and response to stimulus sources in the nursing group were higher than those in the reference group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion The advantages of holistic nursing in the nursing of bronchial asthma patients are more obvious, which can significantly improve patients′ anxiety and depression, improve their lung function and improve their quality of life, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
