Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effects of chain model of kindred-like nursing on self-nursing of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods Sixty patients with AS were randomized into test group and control group. Based on the therapy with same drugs, test group were given contact cards and served with continuous health care, while control group were only given routine instruction on functional exercises. Both groups were measured with Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI) and Bath ankylosing spondylitis functional index (BASFI) before and after treatment. Results After treatment for 3 months, BASDAI and BASFI of test group were significantly improved compared with control group(P＜0.05). Conclusion Chain model of kindred-like nursing improves nursing ability at home, and plays an important role in disease activity and function recovery of patients with AS.
