Effects of situation-background-assessment-recommendation handover combined with detail nursing intervention on patients with infections

Objective: To analyze the nursing effects of situation-background-assessment-recommendation (SBAR) handover combined with detailed nursing intervention on patients with contagious diseases. Methods: A total of 106 patients with infectious diseases who were hospitalized from April 2018 to April 2020 were selected and randomly divided into a control group (n=53, SBAR handover model) and an experimental group (n=53, SBAR handover model, combined with detailed nursing intervention) based on a random number table method. The nursing quality, professional recognition of nursing staff, patients' psychological status, and the quality of life of patients between the two groups were compared. The visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, hospital stay, gastrointestinal recovery time, and complication rate of the two groups were recorded and compared at 24 h and 72 h after intervention. Results: Scores for comprehensive nursing quality of doctors, nursing managers, nursing staff, and patients in the experimental group witnessed a greater rise than before (P<0.05). Patients' social status, development prospects, mental health, and professional recognition in the experimental group garnered more of a superior outcome than the control group (P<0.05). Both the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores dramatically decreased after intervention (P>0.05), with lower scores in the experimental group in contrast to the control group (P<0.05). Patients in the experimental group enjoyed a better quality of life than those in the control group (P<0.05). More patients were satisfied with the nursing in the experimental group (94.34%) in comparison with the control group (81.13%) (P<0.05). The experimental group experienced better outcomes in terms of 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h VAS scores, hospital stay, and gastrointestinal recovery time, and the incidence of complications than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions: SBAR handover model combined with detailed nursing intervention can ease negative emotions of patients with infections, optimize their life qualities and nursing satisfaction, and enhance comprehensive nursing performance and professional recognition.
