Objective:To explore the application effect of family-centered empowerment model (FCEM) in rehabilitation nursing of children with femoral shaft fractures treated by skin traction.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 107 children with femoral shaft fractures treated with skin traction in Anhui Children′s Hospital from April 2019 to October 2021, including 67 males and 40 females; aged 1.5-5.0 years [2.8(2.0, 3.5)years]. Fracture types included oblique fracture ( n=50), comminuted fracture ( n=26), transverse fracture ( n=14) and spiral fracture ( n=17). FCEM nursing was implemented in 55 patients (family empowerment group) and routine home rehabilitation nursing guidance was performed in 52 patients (routine nursing group). The face, legs, activity, cry, consolability (FLACC) behavioral score on admission and at days 1, 3 and 7 after skin traction, treatment compliance rate at 1 month after skin traction, complication rate at 1 month after skin traction, length of hospital stay and fracture healing time were compared between the two groups. Results:All patients were followed up for 12-18 weeks [13.4(12.7, 13.9)weeks]. There was no significant difference in FLACC behavioral score between the two groups on admission ( P>0.05). The FLACC behavioral score was (4.0±0.7)points,(3.4±0.6)points and (2.4±0.6)points in family empowerment group at days 1, 3 and 7 after skin traction, lower than (4.8±0.7)points, (3.9±0.8)points and (3.3±0.5)points in routine nursing groups (all Ρ<0.01). One month after skin traction, treatment compliance was excellent in 51 patients, good in 4, poor in 0, with treatment compliance rate of 92.7% (51/55) in family empowerment group, and was excellent in 40 patients, good in 9, poor in 3, with treatment compliance rate of 76.9% (40/52) in routine nursing group ( Ρ<0.05). The complication rate was 5.4% (3/55) in family empowerment group, lower than 21.2% (11/52) in routine nursing group ( Ρ<0.05). The length of hospital stay and fracture healing time were (15.6±0.3)days and (7.1±0.8)weeks in family empowerment group, shorter than (16.8±0.3)days and (8.2±0.4)weeks in routine nursing group (all Ρ<0.01). Conclusion:For children with femoral shaft fractures treated by skin traction, nursing using FCEM can alleviate pain, improve treatment compliance, reduce complication rate, reduce hospital stay and shorten fracture healing time.
