Abstract:
Objective:To make a postural transfer belt for patients with cervical spinal cord injury, to reduce and prevent the corresponding nursing problems with traditional methods of transfer
Methods:44 patients with cervical spinal cord injury admitted to the ward from January to June 2017 were selected as the control group by traditional methods of postural metastasis, and 48 patients with cervical spinal cord injury admitted to the ward from July to December 2017 were selected as the observation group by using self-made transfer belt.
Results:Number of the skin injury caused by transfer in observation group was 0 cases, in control group was four cases, and there was significant difference (χ2=1.91, P=0.049). Falls occur due to metastasis: there were 0 cases in the observation group and five cases in the control group, there was significant difference (χ2=2.39, P=0.026). The number of caregivers in the observation group decreased on average (1.21±0.08), and the number of caregivers in the control group decreased on average (0.86±0.09). The differences between the two groups are statistically significant (t=2.905, P=0.005). The results of the investigation on the escorts in the observation group showed that 46 (95.8%) people believed that the transfer belt was convenient for patients. 47 people believed that the transfer belt was safer and more labor-saving to use, accounting for 97.9%, and 47 people believed that the transfer belt would continue to be used when they went home, who occupied 97.9%.
Conclusion:The self-made transfer belt is convenient for the caregivers to carry the patients with cervical spinal cord injury, which effectively prevents the occurrence of skin injury, falls and other nursing problems, and improves the quality and experience of the caregivers. This technology is worthwhile to spread.
