Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the influence of individualized nursing care on Chinese postpartum women. Methods: We invited 182 participants to join our study, who are childbirth in the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University, their childbirth time is from April 2016 to October 2019. They were randomly assigned to control group (n=91) and intervention group (n=91), the two group receive different nursing services, such as individualized nursing care and traditional nursing services. We use Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating depression scale (SDS) and other questionnaires to collect the data from participants, the data include patient comfort status, patient satisfaction status, anxiety status and depression status. Result: In comfort research, the comfort status of most patient is 0 level in control group and intervention group (n=44 & n=56). On the other hand, the control group had more 1 level assessment in this result (n=22). In satisfaction report, the performance of individualized nursing care is better than traditional nursing services in satisfaction [86 (94.5%) vs 77 (84.6%)]. In SDS and SAS research, The intervention group had greater improvement than that of control group in the SAS as the result of intervention group lowered scores even more. Conclusion: the individualized nursing care have great improvement to improve hospital satisfaction and mental health of patients. But the individualized nursing care has little effect on improving patient comfort.

Highlights

Individualized nursing care is a planned care in nursing services, its aim is meet the particular needs which each patient has across the disease continuum, even if these needs might change over time, regardless the routine applied to other patients with a similar disease [1]
In China, postpartum women are increasingly vulnerable to suffer from poor mental health, because they had a consequence of raising stress and less accessible social support [6]
31.4% of perinatal women from low- and middleincome countries were living with a depressive disorder and 17% were living with major depressive disorder, the data shown that the prevalence of poor mental health varied greatly among studies [7, 8]

Summary

Introduction

Individualized nursing care is a planned care in nursing services, its aim is meet the particular needs which each patient has across the disease continuum, even if these needs might change over time, regardless the routine applied to other patients with a similar disease [1]. In order to patients receive the best possible method for treatment and care, healthcare providers who provide individualized nursing care have to develop an individualized healthcare plan, through co-operation and exchange of opinions with the patient and the specialists that treat them, regarding the best possible method for treatment and care [3,4,5]. In this method, the patient's needs may be identified and plans to satisfy them may be articulated.
