Abstract

To explore the effects of specialized nursing intervention based on quantitative evaluation strategy on the psychological state and quality of life of senile dementia patients. 92 senile dementia patients were divided into the control and intervention groups (n = 46 each). Control group was given routine nursing intervention, while intervention group was given specialized nursing intervention based on the quantitative evaluation strategy. Patients' self-care ability, cognitive function, nursing compliance, psychological state, quality of life, and patient satisfaction indexes were measured. After nursing interventions, the self-care ability (71.73 ± 4.31 vs 63.82 ± 3.97 points) and cognitive functions such as orientation (7.96 ± 1.02 vs 6.53 ± 1.15), memory (2.16 ± 0.39 vs 1.69 ± 0.31), visual-spatial copying (3.78 ± 0.53 vs 3.02 ± 0.65), language skills (7.49 ± 1.26 vs 6.05 ± 1.28), and recall ability (2.13 ± 0.26 vs 1.75 ± 0.28) were significantly improved in the intervention group compared to the control group (P ˂ 0.05). The patient's compliance in the intervention group (95.65%) was prominently higher than the control group (80.43%) (P < 0.05). Notably, patient's psychological state (anxiety and depression) in the intervention group (47.42 ± 3.12 vs 51.39 ± 3.16, 48.52 ± 2.51 vs 52.83 ± 2.49) was better than the control group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the quality of life was significantly improved in the intervention group (88.11 ± 1.11 vs 71.52 ± 1.24) compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Also, patients' satisfaction with nursing services in the intervention group (97.83%) was higher than the control group (78.26%) (P < 0.05). Specialized nursing intervention based on quantitative evaluation strategy can effectively improve patients' self-care ability, and cognitive function, reduce anxiety and depression and enhance the quality of life, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
