Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the effects of programed emergency care in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.
METHODS: Fifty-eight patients with severe acute pancreatitis treated from January 2013 to December 2013 at our hospital were included in an observation group to implement programed emergency care, and 55 patients with severe acute pancreatitis treated from January 2012 to December 2012 at our hospital were included in a control group to receive routine emergency care. The length of hospital stay after intervention, satisfaction to nursing care, Karnofsky performance status (KPS) and Spitzer quality of life score were compared for the two groups.
RESULTS: In the observation group, 39 (67.2%) cases were very satisfied, 18 (31.0%) satisfied, and 1 (1.7%) not satisfied with the nursing care. The corresponding figures in the control group were 23 (41.8%), 25 (45.5%), and 7 (12.7%), respectively. There were significant differences between the two groups (P < 0.05). The length of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the observation group than in the control group (15.4 d ± 2.2 d vs 21.4 d ± 4.6 d, P < 0.01). KPS score was significantly higher in the observation group (76.9 ± 14.3 vs 61.4 ± 10.2, P < 0.01), and the scores of all dimensions of the quality of life scale were significantly higher in the observation group (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION: Implementation of programed emergency nursing care in patients with severe acute pancreatitis can significantly reduce hospital stay and improve patient's satisfaction to nursing work, patient's health status, and quality of life.
