ObjectiveTo investigate the status and influencing factors of the continuity of care needs in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysm hemorrhage. MethodsFrom January, 2022 to April, 2025, 121 patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysm hemorrhage admitted to the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were selected. A questionnaire survey was conducted using general information questionnaire and continuity of care needs questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of continuity of care needs. ResultsA total of 121 questionnaires were distributed, with 115 returned (95.04%). The scores of continuity of care needs were with an average score of (100.54±6.97). Statistically significant differences were observed in scores of continuity of care needs among patients with different ages, education levels, primary family caregivers, preoperative Hunt-Hess grades, number of comorbid diseases, whether they received postoperative rehabilitation training and availability of nearby healthcare services (|F| > 8.104, |t| > 2.651, P < 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that education level, primary family caregiver, preoperative Hunt-Hess grade, number of comorbid diseases and availability of nearby healthcare services were all influencing factors for the continuity of care needs in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysm hemorrhage (|t| > 1.703, P < 0.05). ConclusionThe need for continuous care in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms is influenced by factors such as educational level, primary family caregivers, preoperative Hunt-Hess grade, number of comorbid diseases and accessibility to nearby healthcare services. Medical staff should comprehensively consider patients' specific conditions and actual needs to provide targeted continuous care services.
