Continuous nursing effect of cardiac surgery continuous nursing group on heart bypass patients

Abstract

Objective To explore the use of the continuum of care approach for patients with coronary artery bypass surgery and the effect of the continuum of care.Methods Collected from January 2009 to June 2010,112 cases of coronary artery bypass surgery patients in the observation group,June 2007 to December 2008,98 patients with coronary artery bypass surgery as the control group. The observation group with implement the continuum of care intervention,the implementation of routine care control group.Results and the nursing effects were compared in two groups.Results The patients care and job satisfaction was higher in observation group,and difference between groups was statistically significant ( x2 =15.38,P ＜ 0.01 ).The patients hospital stay was shorter than that in the control group,the difference between two groups was statistically significant (t =2.521,P ＜ 0.05).After intervention,health related knowledge level was significantly increased,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (x2 =62.98,95.93,106.66,83.34,respectively;P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions Using the continuum of care approach for heart surgery patients with coronary artery bypass grafting help to increase patient understanding of health-related knowledge and improve patient outcomes,shorter hospital stay,increase nursing job satisfaction,and is worthy of reference.
