Abstract:
Objective To explore the effectiveness of the home-community-hospital network management (HCHNM) on the prevention and treatment of stroke.Methods From June to December 2011,HCHNM was implenented in Qingdao of Shandong Province to prevent and treat stroke patients.According to community residents healthcare records,A total of 80 stroke patients were randomly selected from Badahu and Fushanhou communities (study group) and another 80 patients from Zhongshan Road and Liaoning Road communities (control group).A household questionnaire survey was then conducted among these participants.Chi-square test and t test were used for data analysis.Results The overall effective rate of the study group was 86.25％ (69/80),which was significantly higher than that of the control group (67.5％) (x2=221.807,P＜0.05).The study group also showed largely improved quality of life (total score:t=4.593;physical fitness,family activities,movement,mood,self-care ability,social activities,upper limb function and work ability scores:t values were 7.775,2.244,5.329,3.832,5.463,2.979,5.924 and 3.555,respectively; all P＜0.05),although language,character,thinking and vision abilities had no statistically significant difference from the control group (t values were 0.561,1.466,0.831 and 1.000,respectively; all P＞0.05).The scores of daily activities and life satisfaction of the study group were higher than those of the control group,while per capita medical cost was much lower (t values were 12.998,20.760 and-29.777,respectively; all P＜0.05).Conclusions As an effective,safe and economy therapy model,HCHNM could improve rehabilitation,self-care ability,quality of life,and life satisfaction of community stroke patients.In addition,it greatly mitigates medical burden.
