Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effects of multidisciplinary team based nursing intervention on nutritional status, muscle strength, physical function and daily living ability of super-aged patients with sarcopenia.
Methods:A total of 29 super-aged patients with sarcopenia from July to November in 2017 in Department of Geriatric, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School were selected as the observation group with multidisciplinary team intervention. And 29 super-aged patients with sarcopenia from February to June 2017 were selected as the control group with routine management. Nutritional indicators, muscle strength, physical activity function and daily living ability scores were compared between the two groups at 1 and 6 months after intervention.
Results:After 1 month of intervention, hemoglobin and serum albumin was (118.79±11.47), (35.86±5.73) g/Lin the observation group and (112.27±11.69), (31.35±5.48) g/L in the control group, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t value was 2.09, 2.98, P<0.05 or 0.01). After 6 months of intervention, hemoglobin, serum albumin, muscle strength, physical activity function and daily living ability was (124.66±13.52) g/L, (38.47±6.02) g/L, (23.75±3.61) g, (9.18±1.85) points, (86.19±14.36) points in the observation group, and (112.03±11.89) g/L, (31.01±5.91) g/L, (19.15±3.19) g, (6.14±1.69) points, (64.12±15.83) points in the control group, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t value was 3.68-6.37, all P<0.01).
Conclusions:Nursing intervention based on multidisciplinary team can improve the nutritional status, muscle strength,physical function and quality of life of super-aged patients with sarcopenia.
