Abstract:

Objective To observe the effects of Internet plus continuous rehabilitation nursing on older patients after lumbar fusion.

Methods From January, 2018 to August, 2021, 157 older patients after transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) in Department of Orthopedics, Chongqing General Hospital were retrospectively studied. A total of 66 patients accepting routine continuous rehabilitation nursing care were as control group, and 91 patients accepting internet plus continuous rehabilitation nursing care were as intervention group. They were assessed with Visual Analog Scale for pain (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Huaxi Emotional-distress Index (HEI) and Adult Health Self-management Skill Rating Scale (AHSMSRS) before, and one and three months after intervention. The compliance and nursing satisfaction were investigated with self-made questionnaire three months after intervention, and the postoperative complications were recorded.

Results A total of 148 patients finished follow-up of three months, including 61 patients for the control group and 87 patients for the intervention group. The VAS, ODI, HEI and AHSMSRS scores improved in both groups one and three months after intervention (F > 85.4, P < 0.001), and improved more in the intervention group than in the control group (|t| > 3.645, P < 0.001). Both the compliance and nursing satisfaction were better in the intervention group than in the control group (χ2 > 5.478, P < 0.05), and no postoperative complication was observed in both groups.

Conclusion Internet plus continuous rehabilitation nursing can promote the recovery of function, pain and psychological emotion, ability of self-management, compliance, and nursing satisfaction.
