Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of comprehensive nursing measures on preventing venous thromboembolism(VTE)in elderly patients.Methods A total of 182 inpatients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected and divided into observation group(92 cases)and control group(90 cases)according to random number table method.Patients in control group were given VTE prevention by conventional methods,and patients in observation group were given VTE comprehensive preventive measures.After the implementation of preventive measures,VTE prevention compliance and health self-management"knowledge-attitude-practice"were compared between two groups.Results There was no significant difference in the assessment of VTE risk level between two groups(P>0.05).The compliance of observation group was significantly better than that of control group(P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences between two groups in understanding and mastering VTE prevention knowledge,believing that VTE prevention measures were difficult to adhere to,and implementing VTE prevention according to medical advice(P<0.05).Patients in observation group had better health self-management.Conclusion The comprehensive nursing intervention of patients participating in VTE risk assessment and jointly implementing thrombosis prevention measures between nurses and patients can improve the compliance of VTE prevention and health self-management ability of elderly patients,which is of great significance for reducing the occurrence of VTE.
