Application comparison between bundle nursing and traditional nursing for children with Kawasaki disease

Abstract

Objective To compare the application effect of bundle nursing and traditional nursing in children with Kawasaki disease (KD). Methods Totals of 120 KD children had been randomly divided into two groups on average: experimental group and control group. The children were given conventional nursing combined bundle nursing in the experimental group, while the children acquired routine treatment in the control group. Bundle nursing involved service attitude, technical capacity, communication, health education and ward management. The satisfaction degree of nursing job and children clinical index were analyzed. Results The level of the service attitude, technical capacity, communication, health education and ward management were (4.24±0.64), (4.37±0.56), (4.28±0.64), (4.34±0.60) and (4.34±0.64) respectively in the experimental group and that of them in the control group were (3.67±0.83), (3.99±0.81), (3.64±0.81), (3.52±1.10) and (3.55±1.04) (t=4.21, 2.99, 4.80, 5.07, 5.01, respectively; P<0.05). The average time of defervescence, the value of hemameba and C-reactive protein and the days of hospitalization in the experimental group(3.67±1.73)d, (9.17±1.79)×109/L, (30.66±2.81)μg/ml and (7.39±2.65)d respectively, which were lower than that of the control group (t=2.34, 5.72, 10.42, 2.21, respectively; P<0.05). Conclusions The bundle nursing can dramatically improve the treatment effect in children with KD. Key words: Mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome(MCLS); Satisfaction; Bundle nursing; Children
