Objective: To evaluate the effect of care bundles combined with detailed nursing on the mortality and nursing satisfaction of patients with septic shock in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Methods: Ninety patients with septic shock in the ICU admitted to our hospital from April 2019 to April 2020 were recruited and assigned to an experimental group and a control group via the random table method, with 45 cases in each group. The control group adopted conventional nursing, and the experimental group received care bundles combined with detailed nursing. The nursing effect, satisfaction, and mortality of the two groups were compared. The "Glasgow Coma Scale" (GCS) was used to evaluate the coma of the patients, the "Coma Recovery Scale" (CRS-R) was used to assess the state of consciousness of the patients, and the "Hospital Anxiety and Depression" (HAD) scale was used to evaluate the patient's emotional status before and after the intervention.
Results: The experimental group showed a significantly higher nursing efficiency and better nursing satisfaction than the control group (P < 0.05). Lower mortality was found in the experimental group in contrast to the control group (P < 0.05). The experimental group had higher GCS scores and CRS-R scores and lower HAD scores than the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Care bundles plus detailed nursing for patients with septic shock in the ICU improve the nursing effect and nursing satisfaction, reduce the mortality rate, and mitigate the clinical symptoms of patients, which shows great potential in clinical application and promotion.
