Application Effect of Mobile Nurse Stations Combined with Refined Management in Patients with Postpartum Depression

Abstract

Objective: To provide insight into the application effect of mobile nurse stations combined with refined management in the nursing of patients with postpartum depression (PPD). Methods: 120 patients with PPD admitted to our hospital in the past two years were selected as the study subjects. The patients were randomly segregated into group A and group B. Group A was given mobile nurse stations with refined management, while group B was administered with refined management alone. A comparative analysis of the psychological status of the 2 groups of patients was performed using the Addison PPD scale (EPDS). Nursing-related indicators, nursing deficit rate, quality of life (QOL), and nursing satisfaction between the 2 groups of patients were also compared. Results: The psychological status of patients in group A was significantly better than that of patients in group B after 6 months of nursing intervention (P<0.001). The PPD rate in group A was significantly lower than that in group B after 20 days and 6 months (P<0.05). The patients' language communication and nursing operation time were significantly longer for group A than for group B (P<0.001). In contrast, the number of trips to and from the nurse's stations and the number of times patients rang their bedside bells per day in group A was significantly lower than that of patients in group B (P<0.001). Group A exhibited a significantly lower nursing error rate than group B (P<0.05). In addition, the QOL domains scores of patients in group A were significantly higher than those of patients in group B (P<0.001). The nursing satisfaction of patients in group A patients was significantly higher than that of patients in group B (P<0.05). Conclusion: Taken together, these findings suggest that the combination of mobile nurse stations and the refined management model positively impacts the mental state of women with PPD, reduces the possibility of nursing errors, improves the comprehensive nursing effect and optimizes the maternal QOL. Therefore, further research is needed to investigate the effectiveness of this model, and to understand the intricacies of its implementation in clinical practice.
