Abstract
ObjectiveTo practice the distance nursing and healthcare through mobile care clinic, and to provide a higher quality of specialist care to colostomy patients.
Methods76 colostomy patients who were operated during August 2015 to January 2016 were investigated and randomly divided into the intervention group (n=40) and the control group (n=36). Based on the conventional nursing care, the intervention group received additional continuing care including the subsequent visit and telephone follow-up with the help of mobile care clinic. After one month of intervention, patients′ satisfaction level and their awareness of health knowledge were surveyed using an autonomous questionnaire.
ResultsThe intervention group had much higher level of satisfaction compared to the control group[(98.4±1.6) vs (91.3±1.7); t=18.75, P<0.05]. They also performed better wound care and knowledge awareness compared to the control group (92.5% vs 69.4%; 82.50% vs 58.33%; χ2=6.70, 5.38; P<0.05). Furthermore, the intervention group had significantly fewer cases of fecal dermatitis than the control group (2 vs 11; χ2=8.73, P<0.05).
ConclusionsWith the help of home health care platform and mobile care clinic, more professional nursing guidelines can be provided in time. It can also improve the nursing satisfaction and reduce related compliances.
