Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of multidisciplinary continuous nursing with the participation of caregiver on recovery of stroke survivors with limb dysfunction. Methods Totally 104 stroke survivors with limb dysfunction were divided into a control group and an observation group,each of 52, according to admission time. Both groups received routine nursing after discharge, while the observation group was additionally provided with multidisciplinary continuous nursing with the participation of caregiver. Six months after discharge, rehabilitation compliance, anxiety and depression scores, limb motor function, self-care ability and readmission were compared between the two groups. Results Finally, 48 patients in the control group and 49 in the observation group completed the follow-up. Six months after discharge, the scores of rehabilitation compliance, motor function and self-care ability of the observation group were significantly higher than the control group (all P<0.05), while anxiety and depression scores, as well as emergency and outpatient visits were significantly lower in the observation group than the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion Implementation of multidisciplinary continuous care with the participation of caregiver can improve patients′ rehabilitation compliance, relieve their anxiety and depression, promote the recovery of the limb motor function and self-care ability.
