Objective To study on the influence of comprehensive nursing intervention on extremities function and quality of life (QOL) in community patients with convalescent stroke.Methods A total of 200 community patients with convalescent stroke were selected and randomized into the experimental group and the control group,100 cases each.Patients in the control group were given conventional treatment and following.While patients in the experimental group were given comprehensive nursing intervention besides the treatment mentioned above.Then the therapeutic effects were evaluated by filling out brief Fugl-Meyer assessment(FMA) scale and ADL rating scale(FIM).Life satisfaction index A(LSIA) and quality of life index (QLI) were selected to evaluate QOL.Results After treatment,the scores of LSIA and QLI of the control group showed no difference,but these scores of the experimental group were significantly improved,and was better than those of the control group.In addition,both FMA and FIM in these two groups improved obviously compared to those before treatment and the effect of the experimental group was superior to that of the control group.Conclusions The comprehensive nursing intervention can significantly improve extremities function and ADL and QOL of community patients with convalescent stroke.It is economical,simple and suitable to community families with any education background.

Objective: To observe the effect of clean water perineum nursing in preventing urinary catheter-associated urinary tract infection. Methods: From October 2015 to October 2016, 160 patients with indwelling urinary catheter were selected from the first affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College, ICU and neurosurgery ICU. According to the order of admission, the patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. A total of 80 patients in the experimental group received clean water perineal nursing, while 80 patients in the control group received routine perineum nursing with 0.5% iodophor. The incidence of urinary tract infection was compared between the two groups on day 3rd, 7th and14th after indwelling urethral catheter. Results: In the control group, the incidence of urinary tract infection on day 3rd, 7th and14th was 0, 1.3%(1/80) and 5.0%(4/80), respectively. In the experimental group, the incidence of urinary tract infection on day 3, 7 and 14 was 0, 2.5% (2/80) and 3.8%(3/80). The difference was not statistically significant (χ²=0.340, 0.149, P> 0.05). Conclusions Using clean water perineum nursing does not increase the incidence of urinary tract infection. This method is simple, effective, and has no adverse reactions. It is worth popularizing in clinic because it can reduce the consumption of iodophor disinfectant and reduce the workload of nurses.
