Objective To evaluate the effect of a nurse-supported patient self-managed home-based cardiac rehabilitation programme for promoting quality of life of patients with coronary heart disease. Methods 167 eligible patients were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n=83) and a control group(n=84). Patients in the intervention group joined a 12-week nurse-supported patient self-managed cardiac rehabilitation programme that included medication management, angina management, physical exercise, smoking cessation, dietary management, and family support besides the conventional care. Chinese Version SF-36 was used to assess the quality of life. Data collection was conducted at programme entry, programme exit, and three months follow-up. Results On completion of the programme, patients in the intervention group demonstrated significantly better improvements in six SF-36 quality of life domains, including general health, physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, mental health, and vitality. The effect on physical functioning and role-physical maintained at three months follow-up.Conclusions A nurse-supported patient self-managed home-based cardiac rehabilitation intervention has a positive impact on the quality of life of patients with coronary heart disease.
目的:探讨健康教育及康复训练对子宫全切术患者的愈后效果的影响。方法:将41例子宫全切手术患者分常规组20例和观察组21例。常规组按妇产科护理常规进行术前术后常规护理及相关注意事项的讲解;观察组对患者进行术前术后常规护理同时实施健康教育及康复训练。结果:常规组患者自我认知能力稍差,有缺失感,住院时间稍长;观察组患者术后乐观,配合术后康复训练较为积极,住院时间稍短。结论:认为做好子宫全切术后患者的健康教育并进行及时的康复训练,对其术后康复并提高生活质量起着至关重要的作用。
目的:观察康复训练结合电针疗法综合治疗汶川地震伤员四肢骨折术后关节活动度、肢体肿胀等功能障碍的疗效。方法: 将126例患者分为治疗组63例,采用康复训练结合电针疗法;对照组63例,于术后第2天自行功能锻炼。测量治疗前后关节活动度(ROM)、肢体肿胀消退时间及疼痛减轻程度并据此确定疗效。结果: 用统计学方法处理,说明两组之间ROM、肢体肿胀消退时间及疼痛减轻程度比较均有统计学意义(Plt;0.05)。结论: 采用康复训练结合电针能有效提高地震伤员四肢骨折后关节功能障碍的疗效。
ObjectiveTo discuss the clinical curative effect of internal fixation for metacarpal and phalanx fractures using stainless steel mini-plate and the early rehabilitation. MethodsThe study included 47 cases treated from January 2006 to June 2011, including 25 cases of 72 phalangeal fractures, 17 cases of 43 metacarpal fractures, and 5 cases of 23 complex metacarpal and phalangeal fractures. All the patients underwent open reduction and micro-plate internal fixation. Three days after surgery, passive function training was initiated. Patients accompanied with blood vessel damage began the training one week later. The training was carried out based on the early rehabilitation schedule. ResultsPrimary healing occurred in all the 47 cases. There was one case of broken plate because of crashing. Postoperative follow-up lasted for 4 to 10 months, and the fractures were healed in 138 lesions. X-ray examination showed that bone union took place at week 8 to 11 averaging at 10. According to the functional evaluation of total autive movement scales, the excellent and good rate was 83.0%. ConclusionThe stainless steel mini-plate in the treatment of metacarpal and phalangeal fractures has a firm fixation and is advantageous. Combined with early rehabilitation training, it can maximize the recovery of hand function with satisfactory clinical results.
ObjectiveTo investigate the effectiveness of ileal mucosal seromuscular patch for bladder expansion combined with rehabilitation training for treating neurogenic bladder dysfunction (NBD) with hyperreflexia. MethodsA retrospective study was performed on the clinical data of 61 patients with NBD and hyperreflexia who were treated and followed up between July 2008 and June 2013. There were 36 males and 25 females, aged 6-23 years (mean, 10 years). The reasons included meningomyelocele operation (43 patients), surgery for lipoma in lumbar vertebra (4 patients), operation of thoracolubar teratoma (2 patients), and lumbosacral spina bifida (12 patients). The results of urodynamics indicated that bladder volume decreased obviously and the residual urine increased. The voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) showed the vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), including 6 cases (10 sides) of grade V, 7 cases (12 sides) of grade IV, and 6 cases (8 sides) of grade III. The color doppler ultrosound showed mild hydronephrosis in 23 cases (41 sides), moderate hydronephrosis in 25 cases (42 sides), and severe hydronephrosis in 13 cases (22 sides). The blood biochemical examination suggested chronic renal failure (CRF) in 13 cases. The treatment included augmentation for bladder and rehabilitation training after operation. ResultsThe operation time was (157±26) minutes; the intraoperative blood loss was (43±15) mL, and no patient was given blood transfusion. The patients were followed up 1.5-6.0 years (mean, 4.5 years). Vesical fistula occurred in 4 cases, urinary infection in 5 cases, dysuresia in 2 cases, and cystolith in 1 case after operation. At 1 year after operation, the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontience Short Form (CIQ-SF) score was significantly better than preoperative score (H=89.813, P=0.000). The urodynamic data showed that the difference value between observed and theoretical bladder volumes, bladder compliance, residual urine volume, maximum flow rate, and maximum storage detrusor pressure were significantly better than preoperative ones (P<0.05). And the color doppler ultrasound showed mild hydronephrosis in 34 cases (56 sides), moderate hydronephrosis in 18 cases (33 sides), and severe hydronephrosis in 9 cases (16 sides). VCUG showed that bladder volume obviously increased, no contracture was observed; and VUR was improved. And renal function was improved in 13 patients with CRF. ConclusionIleal mucosal seromuscular patch for bladder expansion combined with postoperative rehabilitation training has good effectiveness in treating NBD with hyperreflexia.
