Enhancing Ischemic Stroke Management with Cluster Nursing: A Comparative Study on the Effects of Ginkgo biloba Diterpene Lipid Amine Treatment

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of cluster nursing on the management of ischemic stroke patients receiving Ginkgo biloba diterpene lipid amine treatment. This study was conducted on 197 patients from the Neurology Department of the author’s hospital from December 2021 to December 2022. These patients were divided based on their admission time into two groups: a control group comprising 98 patients who received routine nursing care and an observation group of 99 patients who were administered cluster nursing. This study evaluated and compared the incidence of nutritional intolerance events, nursing-related adverse events, and the overall quality of life among these groups. Results indicated a statistically significant reduction in the incidence of nutritional intolerance (P < 0.05) and nursing adverse events associated with enteral nutrition support (P < 0.05) in the observation group compared to the control group. Furthermore, the observation group exhibited higher scores in family role, energy, and verbal ability (P < 0.05), suggesting an improvement in the quality of life. These findings highlight the effectiveness of the cluster nursing approach in improving the management and outcomes for ischemic stroke patients in terms of reducing nutritional intolerance and nursing adverse events, thereby significantly enhancing the quality of life.
