Effect of comprehensive nursing intervention on quality of life and treatment outcomes in elderly patients with Gout and Hyperuricemia complicated with hypertension.

Abstract

To evaluate the effect of comprehensive nursing intervention on the quality of life and treatment outcomes of elderly patients with gout and hyperuricemia complicated with hypertension. This is a clinical comparative study. One hundred and twenty elderly patients with gout and hyperuricemia complicated with hypertension who were hospitalized at Baoding No.1 Central Hospital were included from March 20, 2021 to March 20, 2022, and randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the control group were given conventional nursing care in the perioperative period, while those in the experimental group were given comprehensive nursing intervention on the basis of the control group. The differences between the two groups in terms of clinical effects, quality of life were compared and analyzed. The response rate of the experimental group was higher than control group,with a statistically significant difference. After the intervention, the above indicators improved significantly in the experimental group compared to the control group, with statistically significant differences. There was no significant difference in Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS) and Self-rating depression scale(SDS) levels between the two groups before the intervention. After the intervention, SAS and SDS decreased significantly in the experimental group compared to the control group, with statistically significant differences . The patient satisfaction rate of the experimental group was also higher than control group, with a statistically significant difference. Comprehensive nursing intervention is an effective treatment option for elderly patients with gout and hyperuricemia complicated with hypertension, resulting in obvious improvements in patient quality of life, improved mood, patient satisfaction and treatment outcomes.
