Effect of outpatient nursing intervention in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis

Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of outpatient nursing intervention in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) on the aspects of clinical efficacy, quality of life and nursing satisfaction after medical therapy. Methods The clinical efficacy according to the judgment standard for clinical effect was valued. Medical outcome study short-form 36-items health survey (SF-36) was used to assess the quality of life of the subjects. Satisfaction Questionnaire was used to evaluate the satisfaction scale of patients. Eighty subjects with CRS were randomly divided into the control group (40 cases) and the trial group (40 cases). The trial group was given nursing intervention on basis of usual nursing. In three months after treatment, the data and statistics analysis was purely descriptive by SPSS 20.0. Results Clinical efficacy: in the group, nineteen subjects were cured, fourteen subjects were improved and inefficacy occurred in seven subjects. The effective rate was 77.5% (31/40). In the trial group, twenty-six subjects were cured, twelve subjects were improved and inefficacy occurred in two subjects. The effective rate was 95.0% (38/40). There were differences in general data between the two groups (χ2=5.165, P=0.023). Quality of life: the average score of the control group was 58.10±5.04, while the average score of the trial group was 72.22±5.63, the average score of quality of life in the trial group was significantly higher than that in the control group (t=3.08, P=0.025) . Nursing satisfaction: there were significant differences in nursing satisfaction between the control group and the trial group (u=-7.048, P=0.000). Conclusions Outpatient nursing intervention can improve the effect of patients with chronic nasal sinusitis after medical therapy, improve the quality of life and improve nursing satisfaction.
