Objective To investigate the application effect of comprehensive nursing care for severe hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) complicated with encephalitis. Methods A total of 70 children cases with severe HFMD complicated with encephalitis induced by enterovirus 71 infection admitted in our hospital from May 2012 to August 2013 were di-vided into observation group 35 cases and control group 35 cases. The control group was given symptomatic care, the observation group was given comprehensive nursing intervention. The fever and herpes subsided time, fatigue and limb shaking disappearance time, the average length of stay in hospital and the rate of complications were compared between two groups. Results The fever and herpes subsided time, fatigue and limb shaking disappearance time, the average hos-pitalization time in the observation group were shorter than the control group statistically (P<0.05 or P<0.01), hospital-ization time of the observation group was significantly shorter than the control group(P<0.01). The occurrence of compli-cations in the observation group were reduced in the observation group compared to the control group (P<0.01). Conclu-sion Comprehensive nursing intervention in children cases with severe type of HFMD complicated with encephalitis, combined with regular treatment, can reduce the incidence of complications and promote disease recovery.
