ObjectiveTo explore the effect of comprehensive nursing service in patients with autoimmune encephalitis (AE).Methods32 patients with AE were selected and treated in our hospital from January 2017 to January 2019. There are 16 patients in the observation group and the control group respectively. The observation group received comprehensive nursing service and the control group received routine nursing intervention. Total satisfaction of clinical nursing was compared between the two groups.ResultsCompared with 10 cases (62.50%) in the control group, 15 cases (93.75%) in the observation group had better overall nursing satisfaction, and the difference between the two groups was significant (P<0.05).ConclusionsFor patients with AE, comprehensive nursing service can significantly improve the quality of life of patients, which has clinical application value.
Objective To explore the actual experience of epileptic patients in video electroencephalogram (VEEG) examination, and to provide reference basis for formulating corresponding nursing strategies and coping methods. MethodsIn this descriptive analysis study, 18 patients (11 males and 7 females, average age 37.78±18.7 years) receiving VEEG from January to April 2022 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, underwent a semi-structural interview. Information obtained from the interview was analyzed using the Colaizzi 7-step method. ResultsThe actual experience of epileptic patients in video EEG examination can be summarized into two aspects: the medical experience and the need for nursing care. The medical experience includes positive and negative experience. The positive experience includes good service attitude, professional medical services, good endurance, and being hopeful. The negative experience includes a weird feeling in the head, insomnia, inconvenience in life, eye discomfort, psychological pressure, and pain. The need for nursing care includes needs for knowledge, strong needs for communicating with doctors, needs for humanistic care and female needs for female implementing the equipment. Conclusion Epileptic patients suffer from different degrees of discomfort and psychological pressure during VEEG examination. Both negative and positive experience exist. Medical staff should improve the content of nursing services according to the nursing needs of patients and provide professional VEEG examination services to patients.
Objective To investigate the comfort status of patients undergoing video electroencephalogram (VEEG) examination and explore its influencing factors. Method A total of 177 patients who underwent VEEG examination in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from March 2023 to February 2024 were selected as the research subjects, and their comfort status and influencing factors during the examination period were analyzed. Result The comfort level of patients undergoing VEEG examination was at a moderate to high level (68.9% and 31.1%, respectively); complete mastery of VEEG health knowledge accounted for 49.2% and 65.5% in the moderate and high comfort groups, respectively. Logistic regression analysis results showed that head discomfort and lack of knowledge of VEEG health were independent influencing factors on the comfort of VEEG examination (P<0.05). Conclusions The comfort level of patients undergoing VEEG examination is at a moderate to high level of comfort; the overall mastery of knowledge related to video electroencephalography is insufficient and still needs further improvement; medical staff should pay attention to the comfort of patients and their mastery of relevant knowledge in examinations. They should take targeted intervention measures in a timely manner based on influencing factors, improve their knowledge level and cooperation with VEEG examinations, reduce the occurrence of discomfort during examinations, and improve the overall comfort level of VEEG examinations.
