Abstract
Febrile convulsions are a common pediatric emergency that imposes significant psychological stress on children and their families. Targeted emergency care and psychological nursing are widely applied in clinical practice, but their value and impact on the management of pediatric febrile convulsions are unclear. To determine the impact of targeted emergency nursing combined with psychological nursing on satisfaction in children with febrile convulsions. Data from 111 children with febrile convulsions who received treatment at Nantong Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital between June 2021 and October 2022 were analyzed. The control group consisted of 44 children who received conventional nursing care and the research group consisted of 67 children who received targeted emergency and psychological nursing. The time to fever resolution, time to resolution of convulsions, length of hospital stays, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, patient compliance, nursing satisfaction of the parents, occurrence of complications during the nursing process, and parental anxiety and depression were compared between the control and research groups. Parental anxiety and depression were assessed using the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) and the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAMA). The fever resolution, convulsion disappearance, and hospitalization times were longer in the control group compared with the research group (P < 0.0001). The time to falling asleep, sleep time, sleep quality, sleep disturbance, sleep efficiency, and daytime status scores were significantly better in the research group compared with the control group (P < 0.0001). The HAMD and HAMA scores for parents of children in the research group were lower than the scores in the control group after nursing (P < 0.05). Compliance with treatment of children in the research group was higher than in the control group (P < 0.05). Parental satisfaction with nursing in the research group was higher than in the control group (P < 0.05). The total complication rate of children in the control group was higher than in the research group (P < 0.05). Combining psychological nursing with targeted emergency nursing improved the satisfaction of children's families and compliance with treatment and promoted early recovery of clinical symptoms and improvement of sleep quality.
