Application of nursing centered mobile APP in the rehabilitation of cognitive dysfunction patients after cerebral stroke

Abstract

Objective To explore the application effects of nursing centered mobile APP service platform in the rehabilitation of cognitive dysfunction patients after cerebral stroke, so as to provide a theoretical basis for its clinical promotion. Methods A total of 204 patients with cognitive impairment after cerebral stroke in Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to the Capital Medical University from December 2012 to December 2014 were selected by convenience sampling method, and randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 102 cases in each. The control group was treated with conventional oral medication and routine rehabilitation training. On the basis of the treatment of the control group, nursing centered mobile APP service platform was applied in the observation group. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) were used to evaluated the patients' outcome of rehabilitation and daily living activity at the time points of before treatment, discharge, the 3rd month and 12th month after the intervention. Results The interaction differences of the main effect of time, the main effect of intervention, intervention and time among the score of MMSE, MoCA and modified Barthel index were statistically significant (P<0.05) . Conclusions The nursing centered APP mobile service platform can improve the patients' cognitive function after stroke and the ability of daily activities, with a certain degree of clinical promotion value.
