Objective To explore the best nursing regimen for patients with severe Tardive dyskinesia (TD) after deep brain stimulation (DBS). Methods To analyze the clinical nursing data of 7 patients with TD treated by DBS in our department from January 2018 to August 2019, preoperative assessment of the patient's condition, dyskinesia care, psychological care, preoperative preparation, preoperative guidance, etc. General nursing, observation and nursing of complications, psychological nursing, safety management and rehabilitation training of limb function were carried out after operation discharge to discharge guidance, daily life guidance, DBS device-related education and other post-discharge continuous care to help patients improve quality of life. The changes of TD symptoms were assessed with the abnormal involuntary movement scale -LRB-AIMS, the nursing effect was assessed with the psychiatric nursing observation sc-Nosiee (NOSIE) , and the self-care ability was assessed with the ability of daily livin-ADL- scale (ADL). Results All of the 7 TD patients recovered well after operation, without complications caused by improper nursing, and the TD symptoms were relieved. The AIMS and NOSIE scores were significantly lower at 1 month, 3 months and 1 year after operation than those before operation (P<0.05). The ADL scores were significantly higher than those before operation (P<0.05). Conclusion In order to treat TD patients with DBS operation, we should pay attention to the pertinent nursing in perioperative period and the continuous nursing after discharge, it is of great significance to relieve the symptoms of involuntary movement, improve the mental state and improve the self-care ability of patients with TD.
