MethodsA total of 218 patients, who discharged from hospital with high risk of getting pressure sore since July 2012 to December 2013 partly from the First People′s Hospital of Wujiang District and partly from community health center and nursing home, were equally divided into experimental group (110) and control group (108). The patients of experimental group treated with normal discharged education and traditional care while patients in the experimental group underwent the continuing nursing care. After 4 weeks discharged, it had been compared the knowledge and skill of pressure sore in caregivers, and the cure of pressure sore was observed at 8 weeks follow up after discharged.
ResultsAfter 4 weeks QCC, the standard rate of knowledge and skill in caregivers was 90.91% in the experimental group and 18.52% in the control group (χ2=115.41, P<0.01), while the occurrence rate of pressure sore was 6.36% in the experimental group comparing with 29.63% of the control group (χ2=20.08, P<0.01). After 8 weeks QCC, the cured rate of pressure sore was 57.14% of the experimental group compared with 12.50% of the control group (χ2=43.111, P<0.01).
