Abstract:
Objective? To explore the method of continuing care for children patients with leukemia and to observe its effects to offer reference for continuing care research. Methods? Totally 160 children patients with leukemia who received maintenance chemotherapy and deep vein indwelling catheterization between November 2016 and January 2018 in Children's Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics, were selected by convenient sampling and divided into the observation group and the control group based on the admission time. A total of 80 children patients admitted between November 2016 and January 2017 were divided into the control group who received continuing care in the form of conventional discharge guidance and telephone follow-up, while the other 80 patients admitted from November 2017 to January 2018 were divided into the observation group who received the multielement, whole-course and high-quality continuing care as designed by the department. The awareness rate of health education knowledge, the incidence rate of deep vein catheter-associated complications and the satisfaction degree of continuing care service were compared between the two groups. Results? The awareness rate of health education knowledge was 85.0% in the observation group, significantly higher than that of the control group (P＜0.01), which was 61.3%; the incidence rate of deep vein catheter-associated complications was 6.25% in the observation group, lower than that of the control group (P＜0.01), which was 28.75%; and the satisfaction of the parents of the observation group with continuing care service was 97.50%, higher than that of the control group (P＜0.01), which was 83.75%. Conclusions? Continuing care is of critical importance for treatment and rehabilitation of children patients with leukemia. The continuing care practice is effective and worth promoting in clinical practice.
