Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effects of smart stress balls on the compliance of functional exercise and the incidence of complications in patients with midline catheters.Methods:By convenient sampling, totally 59 patients who received midline catheterization in the Department of Gastroenterology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June to August 2019 were selected as the control group, while 58 patients who underwent midline catherization between October and December 2019 were selected as the observation group. Patients in the control group used traditional stress balls in function exercise after catherization, whereas patients in the observation group used smart stress balls in function exercise. The compliance of functional exercise and incidence of catheter-related complications after catherization were compared between the two groups of patients.Results:The functional exercise compliance score in the observation group was (39.66±2.62) , higher than (18.58±6.37) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-50.470, P<0.01) . The total incidence of complications in the observation group was 3.4% (2/58) , lower than 15.3% (9/59) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The use of smart stress balls can improve the functional exercise compliance and reduce the incidence of catheter-related complications after catheterization in patients with midline catheters, which is worth promoting in clinical practice.
