RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the effectiveness of 1+N+N team model with family physician as the core for rehabilitation of community-dwelling stroke patients.Methods:Convalescent stroke patients in Fenglin Community of Shanghai Xuhui District, who were followed up and registered from January 2019 to October 2021, were continuously enrolled in this intervention study. The 1+N+N care team consisted of a family doctor as the core (“1”) with the professional and technical team of the community health service center (“N”) and specialists in second or third hospitals (“N”). Patients were randomly divided into 1+N+N intervention group and control group. The control group was treated with traditional stroke management scheme, while the intervention group was treated by the 1+N+N team model. The activities of daily living (ADL), motor function and psychological status scores were evaluated at baseline and 12 months after intervention. Multivariate linear regression model was used to analyze the association of intervention methods with the improvement of ADL score, motor function score and psychological status score of patients.Results:A total of 120 patients were enrolled (60 in each group), including 59 males and 61 females with a mean age of (71.5±6.8) years. Compared with the control group, the age of patients in the intervention group was younger ( P=0.013), and the proportion of patients with coronary heart disease was lower ( P=0.003). There was no significant differences in other variables between the two groups ( P>0.05). After 12 months of intervention, the scores of ADL, motor function and psychological status were significantly improved compared with those before intervention in both groups ( P<0.01). There was no significant difference in motor function scores between the intervention group and the control group before intervention ( P>0.05), but the scores of ADL and psychological status in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.001). After intervention, the above scores in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01). After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariate linear regression showed that the 1+N+N team model had no significant correlation with ADL score ( t=0.27, P=0.799), but had a positive correlation with motor function score ( t=15.64, P<0.01) and psychological status score ( t=13.70, P<0.01). Conclusion:The 1+N+N team model can effectively improve the daily living ability, motor function and psychological status of stroke patients in the convalescent period, and the intervention effect on the latter two is better than that of the traditional rehabilitation mode.
RESUMEN
In the electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring of patients with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, generalized periodic discharges are often monitored abnormal waveforms. When there are some features of generalized periodic discharges (e.g., frequency≥1.5 Hz or plus), it indicates that the patient is at high risk for seizures or has a poor prognosis. Compared with conventional EEG, the time of continuous EEG monitoring is longer, so the detection rate of these waveforms is higher. At present, scholars at home and abroad have studied these waveforms, but there is controversy about the significance of these waveforms. In this paper, the definition and characteristics of these waveforms and their significance in determining prognosis and guiding treatment in patients with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy are reviewed.
RESUMEN
Rehabilitation medicine is one of the most important specialties in community health institutions. This article introduces the 12 year′s development of rehabilitation medicine in Fenglin Community Health Service Center, focusing on the talent allocation, service capabilities, resource expansion, basic facilities, personnel recruiting, department operating, service scope, and its achievements and influence, to provide reference for planning and construction of featured specialty in community health service centers.
RESUMEN
Community health institutions have entered a new development stage of featured specialty construction. After 12 years of development, rehabilitation medicine now is the featured specialty of Fenglin Community Health Service Center. This article presents the train of thought and key points of specialty construction in primary care institutions based on the Fenglin′s experience. The positioning of featured specialty should be based on the community. The construction process should include 7 elements, namely, the standard operation procedure(SOP)of service system construction, the detailed publicity and implementation of the collaboration of specialists, prevention and control knowledge promotion for general practitioners, prevention and control knowledge education for community residents, service list, clinical efficacy evaluation, and clinical database. In the later iterations, the head of the department should always focus on the service system construction SOP and clinical database construction, and the rest parts can be assigned to the relevant team members.
RESUMEN
The construction of featured specialties is the current development strategy of community health service institutions to improve the service scope and to meet the health needs of residents. The rehabilitation medicine has undergone 12 years of development and become a relatively mature featured specialty in Fenglin Community Health Service Center. Based on the Fenglin′s experience, this article discusses the development status and restriction bottlenecks of general practice, and the development status and trend of rehabilitation medicine in the community; and also explores the integrated development model of community-featured specialty with general practice.
