Application of clinical nursing path on patients with acute pancreatitis

Abstract

Objective To discuss the effect of clinical nursing pathway （ CNP） on patients with acute pancreatitis （ AP） .Methods Totals of 246 patients with AP were randomly divided into the observation group （n=124） and the control group （n=122）.The observation group received clinical nursing pathway while the control group was given conventional nursing methods .Nursing effect was compared between two groups . Results Patients’ satisfaction rate was 96.77% in the observation group and 87.70% in the control group, with statistically significant difference （χ2 =2.83,P〈0.05）.The average stay in hospital was （16.64 ±4.15）d in the observation group and （18.77 ±5.28） d in the control group.The average cost of hospitalization was （48 972.38 ±17 362.33） yuan in the observation group and （55 728.47 ±21 932.36）yuan in the control group. Both differences were statistically significant （F=2.62, 3.91, respectively;P〈0.05）.Conclusions CNP can significantly improve the nursing quality of AP patients and reduce the medical cost .
