Effect of whole course seamless nursing mode on patients with chronic infectious wounds.

ABSTRACT

Background: Chronic infectious wounds seriously affect patients' quality of life. Aim: To assess the effect of whole course seamless nursing mode on patients with chronic infectious wounds. Methodology: One hundred patients treated between January 2019 and December 2020 were randomly divided into control and observation groups (n=50) that were given routine nursing and whole course seamless nursing, respectively. Their pain score, comfort score, wound healing time, wound healing effect, psychological state scores, sleep indices, quality-of-life scores and degree of satisfaction with nursing were compared. Results: Observation group had lower pain score and higher comfort score than those of control group after nursing (P<0.05). Compared with control group, observation group had shorter wound healing time and higher grade-A wound healing rate (P<0.05). The SDS and SAS scores of observation group were lower than those of control group (P<0.05). Observation group also had significantly shorter sleep latency, longer actual sleep time, lower PSQI score, as well as higher quality-of-life score and overall satisfaction rate than those of control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: For patients with chronic infectious wounds, whole course seamless nursing effectively relieves wound pain, facilitates wound healing, improves comfort, psychological state and sleep status, and makes them more satisfied.
