Abstract:
Objective
To construct a continuous nursing service model for stroke patients based on Palmtop APP, and to provide a an evidence base for "Internet +" continuous nursing.
Methods
This study recruited 80 stable stroke patients admitted to Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2023 to December 2023. Patients were randomly assigned to a study group (n=40) and a control group (n=40) using a random number table. The study group received continuous care based on the Beijing Tiantan Hospital application (APP), while the control group received routine care. The daily living activity ability (Barthel index, BI), quality of life (stroke specific quality of life scale, SS-QOL), and psychological depression (patient health questionnaire-9, PHQ-9) between the two groups were assessed at discharge and 3 months after discharge, and compared by t test. The continuous nursing service model was developed through consultation with 15 experts in clinical nursing and nursing management from neurology departments of five tertiary hospitals in Beijing. The initial draft of the model was formulated based on qualitative research findings,literature review, and group discussions. The Delphi method was employed for two rounds of expert consultation to refine the model content. Expert authority was evaluated using the expert authority coefficient (Cr), and the harmony of expert opinions was assessed using Kendall's W.
Results
The expert authority coefficient (Cr)for the two rounds of expert authority evaluation were 0.90 and 0.91. The harmony coefficients (Kendall's W)were 0.189 and 0.120 for the first and second rounds, respectively. The final continuous nursing service model for stroke patients based on the APP was ultimately formed, which includes 8 primary indicators, 28 secondary indicators, and 115 tertiary indicators. At 3 months post-discharge, the study group exhibited significantly higher BI (82.53±6.25) and SS-QOL (151.20±17.48) scores compared to the control group (BI: 70.52±6.07; SSQOL: 133.14±16.89). The PHQ-9 score of the study group (3.34±1.04) was significantly lower than that of the control group (5.05±1.22). All differences were statistically significant (t=8.718, 4.699, 6.746, all P<0.001).
Conclusion
The APP, as a novel continuous nursing tool, demonstrates significant application effects in the rehabilitation process of stroke patients after discharge. It enhances patients' self-management ability, improves their quality of life, and reduces negative emotions.
