ABSTRACT
To explore the influence of the 5E rehabilitation nursing model integrated with mindfulness training on mitigating psychological distress and adjusting coping styles in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The clinical data of 94 patients with AMI who underwent PCI from August 2020 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on different nursing modes. Among them, 47 cases received routine interventions were categorized into the control group, and 47 cases received the 5E rehabilitation nursing model integrated with mindfulness training on the basis of routine interventions were categorized into the study group. After 3 months of intervention, both groups exhibited a significant reduction in Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Depression Scale scores compared to the pre-intervention period, with the study group demonstrating lower scores than the control group (Pâ <â .05). Herth Hope Index scores significantly improved in both groups after intervention, with the study group exhibiting higher scores than the control group (Pâ <â .05). After 3 months of interventions, Self-Care Agency scores significantly elevated in both groups, with the study group demonstrating higher scores than the control group (Pâ <â .05). WHO Quality of Life-BREF scores significantly improved in both groups, with the study group demonstrating higher scores than the control group (Pâ <â .05). The study group exhibited higher compliance and satisfaction levels and lower complication rate compared to the control group (Pâ <â .05). Integrating the 5E rehabilitation nursing model with mindfulness training effectively alleviates psychological distress, ameliorates quality of life, and improves satisfaction in AMI patients after PCI.

PURPOSE: Reduced activity because of pain is a major health issue associated with total knee arthroplasty. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a nurse-led app-based home exercise program for patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty. METHODS: A nonequivalent control group of pretest-posttest design was used. Data from 45 patients were collected. The control group received individualized face-to-face exercise education, whereas the experimental group received training on the use of app-based home exercise education, including exercise videos and app push notifications to encourage exercise after discharge. Pain, range of motion, exercise self-efficacy, and quality of life were measured at baseline and 3 and 12 weeks after surgery. Nursing care satisfaction was evaluated 12 weeks after surgery. RESULTS: There were significant overall reductions in pain intensity ( p = .001), improvements in limited range of motion ( p < .001), and increases in exercise self-efficacy ( p = .034) and quality of life ( p = .033) in the experimental group ( n = 22) compared with those in the control group ( n = 23). Nursing care satisfaction was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group ( p < .001). CONCLUSIONS: Rehabilitation nurses can offer app-based home exercise education with push notifications to alleviate pain, enhance range of motion, improve exercise self-efficacy, and increase nursing care satisfaction for patients who have had a knee arthroplasty.

The nursing context in pediatric rehabilitation is that of caring for children with disabilities and complex developmental differences and health conditions in an ever-changing and demanding environment. Rehabilitation nurses aim to continuously advance nursing leadership, practice, education and research to meet service needs. Strengths-Based Nursing and Healthcare (SBNH) is a philosophy and value-driven approach that aligns with and enables the advancement of strengths-based rehabilitation nursing and family-centred care. This paper describes the leadership approach undertaken to implement SBNH in a Canadian pediatric rehabilitation hospital context over a 10-year period. We will share what we did and what we learned.

ABSTRACT: Candida auris is a highly transmissible yeast that is capable of causing invasive and fatal infections, particularly among persons with underlying medical conditions. Its incidence is rising, especially among patients cared for in post-acute care facilities. Individuals colonized with the yeast may be cared for in inpatient rehabilitation settings, without heightened risk for invasive infection and/or transmission to others, as long as appropriate infection control measures are followed. This article reviews key information for rehabilitation nurses caring for persons with C. auris , including risk factors for infection, the need for contact precautions, appropriate disinfection practices for therapy and diagnostic equipment, and critical components of safe transitions in the care of these patients.

Objective: To explore the influence of rehabilitation nursing under the guidance of Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) model on the perioperative nursing effect of artificial hip replacement and to analyze the effect of this nursing model on the quality of life and postoperative rehabilitation of patients undergoing artificial hip replacement. Methods: A total of 200 patients with hip arthroplasty treated in our hospital from January 2019 to July 2021 were enrolled. The patients were randomly assigned into the control group and study group. The former received routine nursing, and the latter received rehabilitation nursing under the guidance of the HAPA model. Nursing satisfaction, pain score, Harris hip function score, timed stand-up-walk test, MBI score, and quality of life score were compared. Results: First of all, we compared the nursing satisfaction. In the study group, 86 cases were very satisfied, 8 cases were satisfied, and 6 cases were general; the satisfaction rate was 100%. In the control group, 48 cases were very satisfied, 22 cases were satisfied, 12 cases were general, and 18 cases were dissatisfied; the satisfaction rate was 82.0%. The nursing satisfaction in the study group was higher compared to that in the control group (P < 0.05). Secondly, we compared the pain scores. Before nursing, there exhibited no significant difference (P > 0.05). After nursing, the pain score of the two groups increased. Moreover, the pain score of the study group at discharge and 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after operation was lower compared to that of the control group (P < 0.05). Before nursing, there exhibited no significant difference in the Harris hip joint function score (P > 0.05). After nursing, the Harris hip function score increased. Furthermore, the Harris hip function score of the study group at discharge and 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after operation was higher compared to that of the control group (P < 0.05). In terms of the timed stand-up-walking test, there exhibited no significant difference before nursing (P > 0.05). After nursing, the time of the timed stand-up-walk test in both groups decreased. And the timed stand-up-walk test at discharge and 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after operation in the study group was lower compared to that in the control group (P < 0.05). Compared with the MBI scores, there exhibited no significant difference before nursing (P > 0.05). After nursing, the MBI scores increased. Of note, the MBI scores of the study group at discharge and 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after operation were higher compared to those of the control group (P < 0.05). Finally, we compared the scores of life quality. Before nursing, there exhibited no significant difference (P > 0.05). After nursing, the scores of life quality decreased. The scores of physiological function, psychological function, social function, and health self-cognition in the study group were lower compared to those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The perioperative rehabilitation nursing program of artificial hip replacement for the elderly based on the HAPA model is feasible, which can effectively enhance the functional recovery of hip joint, promote the ability of self-care of daily life, relieve pain and anxiety, and help to achieve dynamic balance and gait stability in the early stage. The rehabilitation program is better than routine nursing. As a new social cognitive model, the HAPA model is applied to the rehabilitation nursing environment of hip replacement from the aspect of social cognitive behavior, which can help to enhance the rehabilitation behavior of elderly patients, playing an important role in the rehabilitation effect of perioperative nursing.

This research was aimed at exploring the application value of a mobile medical management system based on Internet of Things technology and medical data collection in stroke disease prevention and rehabilitation nursing. In this study, on the basis of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, the signals collected by the sensor were filtered by the optimized median filtering algorithm, and a rehabilitation nursing evaluation model was established based on the backpropagation (BP) neural network. The performance of the medical management system was verified in 32 rehabilitation patients with hemiplegia after stroke and 6 healthy medical staff in the rehabilitation medical center of the hospital. The results showed that the mean square error (MSE) and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of the median filtering algorithm after optimization were significantly higher than those before optimization (P < 0.05). When the number of neurons was 23, the prediction accuracy of the test set reached a maximum of 89.83%. Using traingda as the training function, the model had the lowest training time and root mean squared error (RMSE) value of 2.5 s and 0.29, respectively, which were significantly lower than the traingd and traingdm functions (P < 0.01). The error percentage and RMSE of the model reached a minimum of 7.56% and 0.25, respectively, when the transfer functions of both the hidden and input layers were tansig. The prediction accuracy in stages III~VI was 90.63%. It indicated that the mobile medical management system established based on Internet of Things technology and medical data collection has certain application value for the prevention and rehabilitation nursing of stroke patients, which provides a new idea for the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of stroke patients.

At present, the most commonly used surgical treatment for fractures caused by external force injury is clinical, and unsupervised data mining is more advantageous in the face of the unknown format of perioperative network data. Therefore, this research aims to explore the application effect of unsupervised data mining in the concept of rapid rehabilitation nursing intervention after fracture surgery. 80 patients who underwent fracture surgery in the Department of Orthopedics of XXX Hospital were determined as the subjects, who were rolled into a research group (group R, 40 cases) and a control group (group C, 40 cases) by drawing lots. An unsupervised data mining algorithm based on unsupervised data mining for support vector machines (VDMSVMs) was proposed and applied to two groups of patients undergoing perioperative fracture surgery with the rapid rehabilitation nursing intervention and basic routine nursing. The results showed that the number of important features selected by the VDMSVM algorithm (5) was obviously more than that of the compressed edge fragment sampling (CEFS) algorithm (1) and the multicorrelation forward searching (MCFS) algorithm (2) (P < 0.05). The number of noise features screened by the VDMSVM algorithm (3) was much less in contrast to that of the CEFS algorithm and the MCFS algorithm, which was 8 and 10, respectively (P < 0.05). The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores of the fracture site at the 4th, 8th, 12th, and 16th hour after surgery in group R were all lower than the scores in group C (P < 0.05). The length of hospital stay (LoHS) in group R was greatly shorter than that in group C (P < 0.05). After different nursing methods, the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) score of patients in group R (89.64 points) was greatly higher than the score in group C (61.45 points) (P < 0.05). The nursing satisfaction score of group R was 92.35 ± 3.65 points, and that in group C was 2.14 ± 1.25 points, respectively (P < 0.05). The test results verified the effectiveness of the feature selection of the VDMSVM algorithm. The rapid rehabilitation nursing intervention was conductive to reducing the postoperative pain of fracture patients, shortening the LoHS of patients, improving the quality of life (QOL) of fracture surgery patients, and increasing the patient's satisfaction with nursing.

This study was to explore the effects of imaging characteristics of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) based on deep learning on the comprehensive rehabilitation nursing on the neurological recovery of patients with acute stroke. In this study, 84 patients with acute stroke who were treated in hospital were selected as the research objects, and they were rolled into a control group (routine care) and an experimental group (comprehensive rehabilitation care). The dense dilated block-convolution neural network (DD-CNN) algorithm under deep learning for cerebrovascular was adopted to assess the effect of comprehensive rehabilitation care on the neurological recovery of patients with acute stroke. The results showed that the Berg scale scores, Fugl-Meyer scores, and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scores of the experimental group of patients after 6 weeks and 12 weeks of comprehensive rehabilitation nursing were greatly different from those before treatment, showing statistical differences (P < 0.05). Compared with conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images, MRA images based on CNN algorithm, Dense Net algorithm, and DD-CNN algorithm can more clearly show the patient's cerebral artery occlusion. The average dice similarity coefficient (DSC) values of CNN algorithm, Dense Net algorithm, and DD-CNN algorithm were determined to be 84.3%, 95.7%, and 97.8%, respectively; the average sensitivity (Sen) values of the three algorithms were 76.1%, 95.4%, and 96.8%, respectively; and the average accuracy (Acc) values were 87.9%, 96.3%, and 97.9%, respectively. Thus, there were statistically obvious differences among the three algorithms in terms of average values of DSC, Sen, and Acc (P < 0.05). The MRA images processed by the DD-CNN algorithm showed that the degree of neurological recovery of the experimental group was observably greater than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically obvious (P < 0.05). In short, the image features of MRA based on the deep learning DD-CNN algorithm showed good application value in studying the effect of comprehensive rehabilitation nursing on the neurological recovery of patients with acute stroke, and it was worthy of promotion.

ABSTRACT: Studies have shown that rapid rehabilitation surgery has a positive effect on recovery after major orthopedic surgery. However, very few studies have examined the impact of fast track surgery on physical and psychological rehabilitation in patients who have undergone total hip replacement.This study aimed to investigate the value of the rapid rehabilitation surgical model for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty during the perioperative period.We conducted a prospective cohort study that included patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty at our hospital from January 2015 to December 2018. We divided the patients into 2 groups - the rapid rehabilitation group and the conventional rehabilitation group - and compared their length of hospital stay, time to off-bed activity, pain score, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale scores, Self-Rating Depression Scale scores, complication rate, and rate of satisfaction during hospitalization.A total of 348 patients were included in the study. Of these, 180 received rapid rehabilitation nursing and 168 patients received conventional nursing. Compared with the patients in the conventional rehabilitation group, those in the rapid rehabilitation group had shorter hospital stays (11.5â±â1.2âday vs 15.5â±â2.3âday, Pâ=â.021), resumed off-bed activities sooner (20.5â±â3.4âhours vs 61.8â±â4.7âhours, Pâ=â.001, had less postoperative pain (4.0â±â1.2 vs 6.5â±â1.1, Pâ<â.001), and lower anxiety and depression scores (anxiety score: 24.4â±â2.1 vs 47.9â±â2.9; depression score: 25.8â±â1.8 vs 43.7â±â1.7, Pâ<â.001).The application of rapid rehabilitation surgery in total hip arthroplasty can accelerate patients' postoperative recovery, relieve anxiety and depression, and increase the patient's satisfaction with the treatment.

PURPOSE: To determine the effectiveness of rehabilitation nursing program interventions in patients with acute ischemic stroke. PATIENTS AND METHODS: An assessment-blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted at a tertiary referral hospital in China. Eligible patients were stratified according to their weighted corticospinal tract lesion load and then randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 121) or a control group (n = 103). The experimental group received rehabilitation nursing from well-trained, qualified nurses (30 minutes per session, two sessions per day for seven consecutive days). The control group received therapist-led rehabilitation with the same timing and frequency. Comparative analysis of the primary outcomes was performed to determine non-inferiority with a predetermined non-inferiority margin. The primary outcomes were the Motor Assessment Scale, Fugl-Meyer Assessment, and the Action Research Arm Test assessed at baseline and after seven days of treatment. The secondary outcomes were the modified Barthel Index, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, and the modified Rankin Scale, evaluated before and after the intervention and at 4 and 12 weeks of follow-up. RESULTS: Two hundred participants completed the trial. In both groups, all outcomes improved significantly after seven days and at follow-ups. The rehabilitation nursing program was non-inferior to therapist-led treatment with lower 95% confidence limits beyond the margins for primary outcomes (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Both treatments had comparable effects; however, no definite conclusion could be drawn. Adequately powered studies are required.

ABSTRACT: The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is impacting post-acute inpatient rehabilitation nursing practice from preadmission assessment to inpatient care delivery and transition planning. Patients with disability following COVID-19 require interventions to address respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, musculoskeletal, and psychosocial issues. The pandemic has resulted in changes to program structures and how inpatient rehabilitation facilities approach family caregiver engagement amidst visitation restrictions. Technology solutions can be utilized to reduce the patient and their family's feelings of isolation and support caregiver preparation for discharge. Nurse leaders are essential in supporting staff during this crisis through authentic presence and providing resources and training. Rehabilitation nurses are key in helping patients and families manage rehabilitation and the aftermath of COVID-19 to restore optimal functioning. In this clinical consultation, we synthesize insights learned from the COVID-19 responses at three inpatient rehabilitation facilities. We describe the impact of rehabilitation nursing interventions to improve outcomes for patients with COVID-19 and their caregivers.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze neurological function recovery and the impact of rehabilitation nursing in patients with cerebral stroke after treatment to aid clinical diagnosis and treatment of cerebral stroke. METHODS: The study comprised 140 patients who were hospitalized in the neurology department for magnetic resonance angiography examination. Patients were divided into a treatment group (70 patients) and a control group (70 patients) based on treatment plan. Digital subtraction angiography was regarded as the gold standard diagnostic examination. In patients in both groups, magnetic resonance angiography features of the M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery and diagnostic specificity and sensitivity were recorded. An activities of daily living score was used to assess neurological function of patients before and after rehabilitation. RESULTS: The activities of daily living scores of patients in both groups increased significantly after treatment (P < 0.05); the scores of patients in the treatment group increased more significantly (P < 0.05). The total effective rate was 89% in the treatment group and 60% in the control group. The difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). After treatment, the degree of M1 segment stenosis in both groups was better than before treatment, and the number of collateral circulation branches was increased; the improvements in the treatment group were more significant (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Rehabilitation nursing could greatly improve the stenosis of blood vessels in patients with acute cerebral stroke and promote the establishment of collateral circulation, thereby effectively enhancing the recovery of neurological function and strengthening the ability of patients to perform activities of daily living.

PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to identify gaps in and to improve the falls prevention strategy (FPS) of an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) in Toronto, Canada. DESIGN: A modified version of the Stanford Biodesign Methodology was used. METHODS: Chart reviews, a focus group (n = 8), and semistructured interviews (n = 8) were conducted to evaluate the FPS. FINDINGS: Admission Functional Independence Measure score, age, and gender significantly correlated with risk for a fall. The tool used at this IRF was not effectively capturing patients who were at high risk for falls. All healthcare providers interviewed were knowledgeable of fall risks; however, a patient's fall risk status was rarely discussed as a team. CONCLUSIONS: The findings informed recommendations to improve the overall FPS at this IRF. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Staff may require more coaching for implementing preventative measures/ensuring accountability and evaluating whether current strategies work. These insights can guide improvement initiatives at similar facilities elsewhere.

OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to provide a guideline for continuous rehabilitation nursing for patients with severe finger replantation, and establish a satellite contact point for patients with severe finger replantation after discharge, so as to ensure scientific and effective rehabilitation training after discharge and explore the role of continuous rehabilitation nursing measurement in severe finger rehabilitation and neurovascular preservation. METHODS: A total of 380 patients accepting neurovascular preservation finger replantation in the hand surgery department were divided into an observation group and a control group according to the number of hospitalizations. All patients underwent reconstructive surgery of severed finger. X-ray filming was used to monitor the postoperative nursing effect of neurovascular preservation of severed finger. The discharged patient information questionnaire was filled 3 days before the discharge. Then, a patient information database was established, and rehabilitation training was performed. Finally, sexual rehabilitation nursing follow-up intervention, telephone follow-up, and cross-referring intervention were carried out. Postoperative x-ray images were taken regularly to observe the recovery of reconstructed finger. RESULTS: There was no difference in daily life ability scores and hand function scores between the 2 groups at discharge (P > 0.05). The daily life ability scores and hand function scores of the observation group were better than those of the control group at 1 and 6 months after discharge (P < 0.05), the difference is statistically significant. As the discharge time prolonged, the daily life ability score and hand function score of the 2 groups of patients gradually increased. X-ray images showed that the replanted finger body was well developed, phalanx was in good antithesis, and there was no epiphysis. CONCLUSIONS: Continuous rehabilitation nursing measures should be taken after the replantation of the severed finger after neurovascular preservation, which provides standardized rehabilitation training standards for patients with replantation of severed finger after discharge, improves patient training compliance, promotes hand function recovery as soon as possible, and enables patients to return to society as soon as possible, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
