The application value of individualized nursing intervention in traumatic hydrocephalus patients undergoing ventriculoperitoneal shunt

Abstract

Objective To explore the application value of individualized nursing intervention based on iceberg theory in ventriculoperitoneal shunt in traumatic hydrocephalus patients. Methods A total of 58 patients with traumatic hydrocephalus from July 2013 to May 2016 admitted to this hospital were divided into the control group and the research group according to the random number table method.The control group received routine nursing intervention, and the research group implemented individualized nursing based on iceberg theory on the basis of routine nursing.The scores of neurological function impairment(NIHSS), intracranial pressure change, the occurrence of complication rate and nursing satisfaction were compared and analyzed between the two groups at admission and after nursing. Results After nursing, NIHSS scores of patients in the two groups were lower than those before nursing, and the study group was lower than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). After nursing, the intracranial pressure of the two groups was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The complication rate of the two groups was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The nursing satisfaction of the two groups was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion The effect of individualized nursing intervention based on iceberg theory in the treatment of traumatic hydrocephalus patients is remarkable, which is conducive to reducing intracranial pressure, improving neurological function, reducing the risk of postoperative complications and improving nursing satisfaction.
