Objective:To explore the application value of checklist-based transitional care on patients relatives relocation stress in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.Methods:A total of 92 patients who undergoing cardiac surgery were assigned to experimental group ( n=46) and control group ( n=46). Patients in the control group received routine ICU transitional care, the experiment group carried out checklist-based ICU transitional care. The transfer time, time of early ambulation, length of hospitalization and incidence of postoperative complications were compared between two groups. Meanwhile, the relatives stress levels were assessed by family relocation stress scale. Results:The transfer time, time of early ambulation and post-intensive care syndrome rate were (11.80±3.58) min, (18.65±4.63) min and 4.35% (2/46) in the experimental group, significantly lower than those in the control group [(13.83±3.49)min, (21.37±4.97) min, 17.39% (8/46)], the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 2.739, 2.713, χ2 value was 3.866, P<0.05). After ICU transferring, the scores of preparation for relocation, family burden, satisfaction with the relocation process and total relocation stress were 21.11±2.57, 13.83±2.10, 7.57±1.11 and 7.57±1.11, significantly higher than in the control group (19.65±3.28, 19.65±3.28, 6.76±1.62, 46.43±4.11), the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 9.222-20.187, P<0.05). Conclusions:Checklist-based transitional care can reduce ICU transfer time, decrease postoperative pain and complications in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, which can also alleviate the levels of relatives relocation stress.

Objective:To explore the applications value of hospital elderly life program in cardiac surgery patients in intensive care unit, and provide reference for improving the prognosis of patients.Methods:This was a prospective study. A total of 84 cardiac surgery patients in intensive care unit from April 2020 to February 2022 in the People′s Hospital of Leshan by convenient sampling method, they were enrolled and divided into the observation group and the control group according to the admission time, each group was 42 cases. Routine nursing care was carried out in both groups, the control group implemented delirium and debility prevention nursing, the observation group adopted hospital elderly life program. The incidence of ICU-acquired delirium and weakness, mechanical ventilation time, duration of ICU stay, the total length of stay and intensive care experience were assessed between the two groups.Results:The 42 cases were included in the final control group and 39 cases in the observation group. The incidence of ICU-acquired delirium and weakness were 17.95% (7/39) and 7.69% (3/39) in the observation group, lower than in the control group 38.10%(16/42) and 23.81%(10/42), the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 4.04, 3.90, both P<0.05); the duration of ICU delirium were (1.71 ± 0.95) d in the observation group, shorter than in the control group (2.81 ± 1.05) d, the difference was statistically significant ( t = 2.38, P<0.05); the mechanical ventilation time, duration of ICU stay, the total length of stay, the total score of intensive care experience in hospital in the observation group were (193.54 ± 21.67) h, (9.49 ± 2.11) d, (18.10 ± 3.12) d, (2.72 ± 0.26) points, lower than those in the control group (214.50 ± 27.25) h, (10.90 ± 1.97) d, (20.59 ± 4.07) d, (3.15 ± 0.35) points, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 3.11-6.35, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Hospital elderly life program can decrease the incidence of ICU-acquired delirium and weakness of cardiac surgery patients in intensive care unit, shorten mechanical ventilation time and hospitalization time, alleviate discomfort in the intensive care experience.
