Objective: To explore the effects of rapid rehabilitation surgery (FTS) nursing combined with continuous nursing on self-care ability, medication compliance and quality of life of patients after renal transplantation.
Methods: Sixty patients who received kidney transplantation in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2021 were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group with 30 patients in each group according to the random number table method. The control group was given FTS nursing, while the observation group was given continuous nursing on the basis of the control group. General data were collected and compared between the two groups. Postoperative indexes such as the time of first intake and the like of patients in the two groups were recorded. The patients' comfort, self-care ability, medication compliance and quality of life after renal transplantation were evaluated in the two groups. During the follow-up, the hospitalization of patients with complications was recorded.
Results: There was no significant difference in the first intake, blood glucose, creatinine, urea nitrogen, blood potassium or postoperative hospital stay between the two groups (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the postoperative physical, mental, psychological, social and environmental dimensions between the two groups (P > 0.05). The scores of cognitive symptom management, exercise and communication with doctors in the two groups in post-intervention were higher than those in pre-intervention, and the scores in the observation group in post-intervention were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The medication compliance in the observation group (93.33%) was higher than that in the control group (70.00%) (χ2 = 5.455, P = 0.020). In post-intervention, the scores of quality of life of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The admission rate of complications in the observation group (10.00%) was lower than that in the control group (30.00%) (χ2 = 3.750, P = 0.035).
Conclusion: FTS nursing can help renal transplantation patients to obtain more stable postoperative blood pressure, renal function and other indicators and comfort. On this basis, combined with continuous nursing can improve patients' self-care ability and medication compliance, which is of great significance to improve the quality of life of patients.
