ObjectiveTo carry out health education to day surgery patients, assist the smoothness of their operation, promote early recovery of patients and improve the quality of nursing and patients' degree of satisfaction. MethodsA total of 1 888 operations from January to May, 2013 were chosen to be the control group; and 2 136 operations from January to May, 2014 were regarded as the trail group. Patients in the control group accepted routine nursing and health education, while patients in the trail group accepted health education before and after surgery, and through telephone during the follow-up period. ResultsThe rate of failure to keep the appointment, the readmission rates, and the satisfaction rate to the nursing work were 0.28%, 0.94% and 94.71% respectively in the trial group, while were 3.50%, 3.07%, and 90.20%, respectively in the control group. the differeces between the two groups were significant (P<0.05). ConclusionPersonalized health education can ensure the smooth operation of day surgery, advance wound healing of the patients, and improve the day surgery ward care quality and patient satisfaction.
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of clinical nursing pathway on rehabilitation indicators in patients who had undergone transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). MethodsA total of 241 patients underwent TURP between July 2010 and March 2014 were randomly divided into path group (121 cases) and control group (120 cases). The nursing results of the two groups were observed. ResultsThe complication rate of bladder spasm, secondary hemorrhage, urethral stricture in path group were lower than those in the control group with significant differences (P<0.05). ConclusionThe performance of clinical nursing pathway on TURP patients may reduce the complications rate, and promote the health economics indicators and quality of care.
Objective To explore the application effects of nursing quality control mode based on nurse satisfaction. Methods A total of 226 nurses in 12 nursing units were selected from December 2013 to June in 2014 as the study subjects. Then, we compared the nurse satisfaction, patient satisfaction, and the effect of nursing quality control before and after the implementation of quality control mode in which nurses participated actively. Results After a half-year practice of nursing quality mode, all the investigation items of the project were significantly different from those before the mode application (P>0.05), except Q1, Q2, Q8, and Q10 in the nurse satisfaction questionnaire, q1, q2, q3, q4, and q14 in the patient satisfaction questionnaire, and quality of emergency management in the nursing quality control section. Conclusion Application of nursing quality control mode can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of nurses, improve nurse satisfaction and the effect of nursing quality management, which has a high value of application in clinical nursing management.
Objective To review and analyze the statistics of laboratory critical values in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery in order to improve the procedures of dealing with these values and provide references for the enhancement of the nursing level. Methods We retrospectively analyzed laboratory critical values of 236 inpatients in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery from April 2013 to April 2014. General data of the patients including the type of critical values, the critical value, distribution, clinical processing time and complications related to the critical values. Results A total of 208 laboratory critical values of 185 inpatients were analyzed including abnormal blood potassium was involved in 99 (47.60%); abnormal blood glucose was involved in 13 (6.25%); abnormal blood sodium was involved in 11 (5.29%); abnormal blood troponin was involved in 13 (6.25%); and 72 cases had other kinds of critical values (34.62%). A total of 136 critical values were closely related to the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery. Among them, 60 cases had a processing time of 15 minutes or shorter. After re-examination, 16 were confirmed to be fake critical values; and 11 critical values did not need to be treated according to the condition of the patients. There were altogether 27 cases of complications related to critical values, including 23 cases of arrhythmia related to abnormal blood potassium, 2 cases of abnormal muscle strength caused by abnormal blood sodium, and 2 cases of hypoglycemia. After the critical values were handled, related complications disappeared without any recurrence. Conclusions Perfect regulatory regime and process of recording and handling laboratory critical values are important for nurses in our department to carry out more accurate measures in treating these critical values including abnormal blood potassium, blood glucose, blood sodium, and blood troponin, etc. In order to continuously improve medical and nursing quality, nurses should pay more attention to the identification and treatment of laboratory critical values.
