Timing theory continuous nursing,resistance training:Rehabilitation and mental h

lNTRODUCTlON

Patients with stroke that is complicated by a traumatic fracture after surgery often experience a partial or total loss of self-care ability,causing them to require assistance in their daily life and activities[1,2].Currently,China's medical resources tend to be insufficient and unevenly available,and there is a lack of health human resources.Therefore,caregivers undertake a large part of patients’ daily care[3-6].Caring for patients who have experience both stroke and fracture require more difficult care.Patients often have limb dysfunction,and severe osteonecrosis can occur.Therefore,effective rehabilitation care can significantly improve the patient’s prognosis.This study showed that caregivers are under considerable pressure,which is related in part to the health status of the patient.Adverse emotions,such as depression,seriously affect the recovery of patients,and the existence and influence of the burden of care is long-lasting[7].However,there are very few reports about the continuation of nursing care in stroke patients with fractures.

This study analyzed the effect of timing theory continuous nursing combined with resistance training on the rehabilitation of stroke patients with traumatic fractures and the mental health of caregivers.The purpose is to provide guidance and a basis for clinical practice.

MATERlALS AND METHODS

Participant inclusion and exclusion criteria

(1)Stroke was diagnosed by CT or MRI and stroke had not occurred previously;(2)≥ 40 years old and ≤ 75 years old;(3)Disease duration was ≥ 6 mo;(4)Diagnosed with hemiplegia and muscle strength ＜ grade 4;(5)Diagnosed with a femoral neck fracture who had undergone hip arthroplasty;and(6)Complete clinical data.

Timing theory has been applied in a variety of disease groups abroad,but it is rarely applied in stroke patients with a traumatic fracture in China[19,20].In this study,the specific needs of patients at different stages and the timing to meet these needs were analyzed.An investigation was conducted according to patients’ needs.Based on this,intervention measures conforming to the characteristics of caregivers' needs were formulated and implemented,and positive intervention effects were achieved.However,there was a short follow-up time in this study,so the long-term effects cannot be identified.The sample size and sampling range were small.Future studies should increase the sample size and conduct longer continuous intervention studies to understand their long-term effects.

Baseline data

A total of 100 patients with post-stroke hemiplegia combined with trauma fractures that had been admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to March 2021 were divided into two groups according to the intervention plan.The comparison of general data between the two groups was not statistically significant(＞ 0.05)(Table 1).

Method

For the observation group,timing theory continuous care combined with resistance training was conducted and divided into 5 stages,which were determined based on literature reviews and expert consultation.The intervention content at each stage was based on the specific needs of the caregivers,and targeted intervention was implemented.A health education manual for patient caregivers was formulated according to the results of qualitative studies,from admission to 3 mo after discharge.Each manual included basic information about the disease,treatment methods,rehabilitation exercise guidance,daily nursing,discharge procedures,and postoperative complications and prevention.An intervention group was established to jointly control data collection,implementation of health education,follow-up after discharge,and the construction of a public platform.Duties were divided between team members depending on their personal expertise.They regularly shared reviewed articles and videos related to rehabilitation training,answered patients’ questions,and encouraged the exchange of experiences among patients to form a mutual assistance team.Patients regularly attended group face-to-face lectures.Concurrently,those in the intervention group were asked to conduct three 30-minute lectures.Hand-in-hand demonstrations were performed.The resistance training method was the same as in the control group.

Standard for evaluation

The self-perceived burden scale(SPBS)[8]and caregiver burden questionnaire[9]were used to evaluate the mental health of the patients and caregivers,respectively.The Harris hip function score[10](HHS),ability of daily living(ADL)scale,and comprehensive quality of life questionnaire(GQOL-74)[11]were used to evaluate the patients'hip function,ability of daily living and quality of life.

Detection method

Before intervention,there was no statistically significant difference in the HHS(＞0.05)between the two groups.After intervention,pain,function,gait,walking aid,walking distance,deformity,range of joint motion,and the total HHS between the twogroups increased(＜ 0.05)and were higher in the observation than in the control group(＜ 0.05)as illustrated in Table 4.

Statistical analysis

SPSS19.0 was used for data analysis and measurement data was expressed as mean ±SD,a-test was applied for comparison,and antest was used for comparison ofenumeration data.＜ 0.05 was statistically significant.

RESULTS

The comparison of bone phosphorus metabolism indexes between the two groups

Before the intervention,there was no statistically significant difference in the bone phosphorus metabolism indexes between the two groups(＞ 0.05).After intervention,ALP,osteocalcin,and vitamin D3 increased in both the observation group and control group(＜ 0.05),and carboxy-terminal peptide of type I collagen β Special sequence(β-CTX)decreased(＜ 0.05)in both groups.ALP and osteocalcin in the observation group were higher than they were in the control group(＜ 0.05)and there was no significant difference in β-CTX and vitamin D3 between the observation and control group(＞ 0.05).Before intervention,there was no statistically significant difference in the SPBS scores between groups(＞ 0.05).After intervention,the SPBS scores of patients in both groups decreased(＜ 0.05),but they were lower for patients in the observation group than for those in the control group(＜ 0.05).Before intervention,there was no statistically significant difference in ADL scores between groups(＞0.05).After intervention,ADL scores of both groups increased(＜ 0.05),and the ADL scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group(＜ 0.05)(Table 2).

Comparison of burden scores of caregivers between the two groups

Before intervention,there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding the burden scores of caregivers(＞ 0.05).After intervention,timedependent,development-constrained,physiological,social,and emotional load and total score in the observation and control group decreased(＜ 0.05)and the burden scores of caregivers in the observation group were lower than the control group(＜0.05)(Table 3).

Comparison of HHS between the two groups

Fasting venous blood(3 mL)was drawn and centrifugated at 2000 r/min for 30 min.The concentrations of ALP,osteocalcin,vitamin D3 and β-CTX were determined by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using the Hitachi 7600i automatic biochemical analyzer provided by Nanjing Jianchi Biological Products Co.Ltd.

Comparison of GQOL-74 scores between the two groups

Before intervention,there was no statistically significant difference in GQOL-74 scores between the two groups(＞ 0.05).After intervention,GQOL-74 scores for physical and mental health,material life,and social function in the two groups increased(＜0.05),and the GQOL-74 score in the observation group was higher than the control group(＜ 0.05)(Table 5).

Comparison of satisfaction between the two groups

In the observation group,there were 30 very satisfied cases and 17 basically satisfied cases;the overall satisfaction rating was 94.00%,which was higher than the control group.The difference was statistically significant(＜ 0.05)(Table 6).

In this study,the SPBS and load scores of both patients and caregivers in the observation group was lower after intervention,suggesting that the use of timing theory continuous nursing,combined with resistance training,can reduce patients’sense of self-burden as well as caregivers’ sense of load in patients with stroke combined with a traumatic fracture.Continuous nursing based on timing theory can effectively reduce the caregivers’ psychological pressure and improve their caring ability[13-17].Caregivers can share their caring experiences and emotional communication,thereby effectively relieving the psychological pressure.The study also found that the ADL score of the observation group after intervention was higher than that of the control group,and the Harris hip function score of the observation group after intervention was higher than that of the control group.By improving the hip joint function score,the quality of daily life is improved.

According to the study,after intervention,ALP,osteocalcin,and ADL scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,suggesting that timing theory continuous nursing,combined with resistance training,can be conducive to bone phosphorus metabolism recovery and improvement.Both ALP and osteocalcin are important indicators in the process of bone metabolism,so active rehabilitation care is of great significance for regulating human bone metabolism.The quality of daily life in patients with stroke combined with a traumatic fracture.The GQOL-74 and HHS in the observation group,after intervention,were higher than those in the control group,indicating that the application of this model can enable patients and caregivers to adapt to the new role of caring more quickly for patients and rearranging their work and life.Over time,the caregivers can slowly accept the reality of the disease,adapt to the reality of caregiving,and accumulate further care experience,while the patients’ own functional defects and their self-care ability can gradually improve[18].

CONCLUSlON

In conclusion,timing theory continuous nursing combined with resistance training can reduce the hip function of stroke patients with a traumatic fracture,improve their ability of daily life and quality of life,and promote the mental health of both patients and their caregivers.

Timing theory advocates that during hospitalization,nurses provide appropriate interventions for caregivers by identifying the stage of the patient and strengthening the caregivers’ performance through repeated guidance.The goal is to improve caregivers’ ability to provide care,the quality of care,and the effectiveness of patients’rehabilitation[9].A continuous nursing care plan,guided by post-discharge timing theory,can reduce the pressure on caregivers’ through the application of a variety of intervention tools and measures,ensuring the effectiveness of post-discharge patient rehabilitation[12].The continuous nursing model based on timing theory and combined with resistance training was used for patients with stroke that had been complicated with a traumatic fracture and incorporated both patients and caregivers.Caregivers have multidimensional needs during the nursing period,and the primary needs changed over time depending on the patient’s stage of disability.Therefore,to better meet the needs of caregivers,nursing staff should be cognizant of the characteristics of caregivers’ needs when formulating health education content and nursing intervention measures to achieve comprehensive and multi-dimensional support.Staff should also be aware of changes in caregivers' needs so they can provide timely and corresponding needs support.After discharge,through regular telephone follow-up,WeChat groups,and public account information pushes,caregivers and patients can continue to acquire health knowledge.This can assist the caregivers in regularly evaluating the patient’s disease status and adjusting their individualized care plan accordingly.This can help them to effectively manage a variety of problems in the process of rehabilitation and can encourage multi-directional and multi-channel access to health resources.

This renowned8 scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning9 something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment doesn t work, we usually learn something valuable from it.
