Application efficacy of bundled nursing management in care of elderly patients with pressure ulcers

Objective: To discuss the efficacy of bundled nursing management in nursing of elderly patients with pressure ulcers. Methods: 148 hospitalized elderly patients with pressure ulcers in our hospital were taken as the study subjects. The study subjects were randomly assigned to the observation group (n=74) and the control group (n=74) using the random number table method. The control group adopted the routine nursing model, while the observation group adopted the bundled nursing. A comparison of the two groups included the cure rate of pressure ulcers, anxiety (using self-rating anxiety scale), depression (using self-rating depression scale), quality of living (using MOS SF-36 scale), sleep quality and patient satisfaction. Results: The cure rate of pressure ulcers in the observation group was greater than that in the control group (P<0.01). The SAS and SDS scores in the observation group were significantly less than those in the control group (P<0.001). The scores of physical function, general health, social function, emotional role, and mental health in the observation group were greater than those in the control group (all P<0.01). The sleep quality scores in the observation group were less than those in the control group (all P<0.001). The nursing satisfaction in the observation group was greater than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The application of bundled nursing management in the nursing of elderly patients with pressure ulcers is effective, which can promote the cure rate of pressure ulcers, improve the depression or anxiety, quality of living and sleep of patients, and enhance patient satisfaction. It deserves clinical promotion and use.
