Study on Early Rehabilitation Nursing Intervention in Ameliorating Motor Function and Activities of Daily Living in Patients with Stroke

Objective To explore the effects of early rehabilitation nursing intervention on the motor function and activities of daily living(ADL) in patients with stroke.Methods Based on the principle of minimize the unbalanced coefficient,100 of stroke patients who were conformed to the inclusion standards were selected from the department of neurology and were divided into intervention group(50 cases) and control group(50 cases).All patients in both two groups were given routine medical therapy and nursing care,but the patients in intervention group were given systematic clinic intervention which aimed at improving motor function and ADL,under the direction of Brunstrom's stage guideline and Orem's self-care theory.Intervention team was consisted of the rehabilitation therapists and nurses.The scores of FMA and BI were collected at admission to hospital and the end of the 6th week treatment.Results The scores of two groups of patients were increased after 6 weeks treatment.The scores of FMA and BI in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group(55.98±12.52 vs.40.64±11.64,75.00±13.63 vs.45.20±11.82,all P0.01).Conclusion Early systematic rehabilitation nursing intervention on the stroke patients could effectively improve the motor function and ADL.
