Dynamic interaction nursing intervention on functional rehabilitation and self-care ability of patients after aneurysm surgery

BACKGROUND: Nursing practices based on the dynamic interaction model have been shown to be superior to generic nursing practices. However, whether this model is effective in patients recovering from intracranial aneurysm surgery is not well studied. AIM: To investigate the effect of nursing based on a dynamic interaction model on functional rehabilitation of patients after aneurysm surgery. METHODS: A total of 86 cases in our hospital with intracranial aneurysm from April 2019 to April 2021, were selected and divided into the study group and the control group, with 43 patients in each group. The control group received routine nursing, and the research group received nursing intervention based on a dynamic interaction model. The daily living ability (activities of daily living, ADL), cognitive function (Simple Intelligent Mental State Scale, MMSE), quality of life (Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74, GQOL-74), self-care ability (Exercise of Self-Care Agency scale), incidence of complications, and nursing satisfaction were recorded before and after intervention. RESULTS: Before intervention, ADL (52.09 ± 6.44), MMSE (18.03 ± 4.11), and GQOL-74 (53.68 ± 4.34) scores in the study group were not significantly different from those in the control group (ADL: 50.97 ± 7.32, MMSE: 17.59 ± 3.82, GQOL-74: 55.06 ± 3.98) (P > 0.05). After intervention, ADL (86.12 ± 5.07), MMSE (26.64 ± 2.66), and GQOL-74 (83.13 ± 5.67) scores in the study group were higher than those in the control group (ADL: 79.81 ± 6.35, MMSE: 24.51 ± 3.00, and GQOL-74: 77.96 ± 6.27) (P < 0.05). Before intervention, self-concept (17.46 ± 4.44), self-care skills (25.22 ± 4.20), self-care knowledge (22.35 ± 4.74), and self-care responsibility (15.06 ± 3.29) scores in the study group was similar to those in the control group (self-concept: 16.89 ± 5.53, self-care skills: 24.59 ± 4.46, self-care knowledge: 21.80 ± 3.61, and self-care responsibility: 14.83 ± 3.11) (P > 0.05). After the intervention, self-concept (26.01 ± 3.18), self-care skills (37.68 ± 6.05), self-care knowledge (45.56 ± 5.83), and self-care responsibility (22.01 ± 3.77) scores in the study group were higher than those in the control group (self-concept: 22.97 ± 3.46, self-care skills: 33.02 ± 5.65, self-care skills knowledge: 36.81 ± 5.54, and self-care responsibility: 17.97 ± 3.56 points) (P < 0.05). The incidence of complications in the study group (4.65%) was lower than that in the control group (18.60%) (P < 0.05). Nursing satisfaction in the study group (95.35%) was higher than that in the control group (81.40%) (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Nursing intervention based on a dynamic interaction model can improve postoperative cognitive function, daily living ability, self-care ability, quality of life, and patient satisfaction, while reducing the risk of complications.
