Study on Nursing Effect of Individualized Health Education Combined with Cognitive Training in Elderly Stroke Patients

Abstract

Objective To study the nursing effect of individualized health education combined with cognitive training in elderly stroke patients. Methods 112 elderly stroke patients treated in the Department of Neurology of our hospital from January to June 2017 were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. In the control group, routine treatment, nursing and rehabilitation exercises were carried out, and regular health education was carried out. The experimental group, on the basis of routine treatment, nursing and rehabilitation exercise, carried out individualized health education and cognitive training combining the content of individualized health education. The effect of intervention was evaluated by Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA), health education questionnaire, daily life self-care scale (ADL) and nurse job satisfaction questionnaire before intervention, at the end of intervention for 4 weeks and at the end of intervention for 12 weeks. Results At the end of 4th and 12th week after intervention, the scores o MoCA, the awareness rate of health education, ADL and job satisfaction of nurses were higher than those before intervention, and the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), with statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusion Individualized health education combined with cognitive training can effectively improve the patients’ cognitive function, improve the patients’ awareness of stroke disease and the compliance of health education, improve the patients’ self-care ability in daily life and the satisfaction of nursing work, so as to improve the patients’ quality of life and quality of living.
