Abstract:
Objective:To introduce the method of making mesh elastic gloves, and to explore its application effect in the treatment of zinc oxide paste in patients with subacute eczema in the hands.
Methods:This study was a kind of experimental study. A total of 96 patients with subacute eczema in the hands in the Dermatology Ward of the First Affiliated Hospital of Yangtze University were selected as the study subjects.They were divided into the control group (admitted from June to December in 2017) and the experimental group (admitted from June to December in 2018) according to the time of admission, 48 cases in each group. After the two procedures(apply medicine and cover with sterile gauze) of the conventional zinc oxide paste coating, the control group was fixed with "gauze bandage+ medical tape", and the experimental group was fixed with "mesh elastic gloves". The external fixed cost and time, the disassembly time, the dressing fixation, the comfort condition, the grip strength, the daily activity of the hand, and the healing effect of the skin lesions were evaluated.
Results:The external fixed cost and time, the disassembly time, grip strength and hand daily activities ability of the patients in the experimental group were (0.37±0.05) yuan, (26.06±2.53) s, (13.70±1.28) s, (25.96±5.83) kg, and (65.04±7.10) points, significantly better than the control group (1.63±0.21) yuan, (160.98±22.82) s, (22.36±3.50) s, (20.01±3.56) kg, (61.83±6.31) points, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t value was-40.931--2.340, P< 0.01 or 0.05). The total rate of comfort, the total rate of dressing loss and the total effective rate of skin lesion healing in the experimental group were respectively 100%(48/48), 0, 98% (47/48), significantly better than the control group 79% (38/48), 46% (22/48), 71% (34/48), the difference between the two groups were statistically significant (χ2 value was 11.163, 28.541, 13.353, all P<0.01).
Conclusions:The application of mesh elastic gloves in the treatment of zinc oxide paste in patients with subacute eczema in the hands can not only save the cost of external fixation and the time of external fixation and disassembly, but also improve dressing fixation and comfort, and improve grip and hand daily activities. At the same time, the healing effect of hand skin lesions can also be improved. In short, it meets the needs of dermatology hand coating.
