Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the current status of quality of life in domestic patients with extremely severe burns during the rehabilitation period and its influencing factors, so as to provide guidance for early clinical psychological intervention and continuous nursing.
MethodsFrom June 2016 to June 2020, convenience sampling was adopted to select 168 patients with extremely severe burns admitted to the Burn Department of 22 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in China as the research subject for questionnaire survey. The questionnaire included the Burn Specific Health Scale-Chinese Version and the General Information Questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the factors affecting the quality of life of patients with extremely severe burns during the rehabilitation period.
ResultsThe initial quality of life score for patients with extremely severe burns during the rehabilitation period was (157.27±30.61) , and the final quality of life score was (49.14±9.56) . The final scores of the quality of life in each field were ranked from high to low in the order of social relations, general health, physical function, and mental health. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the factors affecting the quality of life of patients with extremely severe burns during the rehabilitation period included gender, age, education level, marital status and source of expenses (P<0.05) .
ConclusionsThe quality of life of patients with extremely severe burns in my country during the rehabilitation period is at a relatively low level. Nurses should strengthen the psychological intervention of patients during hospitalization and carry out continuous nursing according to the relevant factors that affect the quality of life of patients.
