Abstract:
Objective:To analyze and synthesize the care experience of caregivers of patients with spinal cord injury.Methods:Qualitative research on the care experience of caregivers of patients with spinal cord injury was retrieved by computer in Chinese and English databases such as PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , Wanfang Database, VIP, and China Biomedical Literature Database. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to December 11, 2020. The quality of the articles was evaluated by the quality evaluation criteria for qualitative research of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Evidence-Based Health Care Center in Australia, and the results were pooled for Meta-synthesis.Results:A total of 8 articles were included, and 33 research results were extracted, and 8 new categories were summarized, and 3 integrated results were synthesized. Integrated result 1 was the change in caregiver's psychological experience (In the process of long-term care, the psychological process of the caregiver was constantly changing, and a positive care experience was obtained through psychological support) . Integrated result 2 was the change in personal and social relationships (Caregivers' personal roles and social relationships were affected by taking care of patients for a long time, seeking multiple social supports, and gradually adjusting and adapting) . Integrated result 3 was the change in knowledge and skills (Due to the sudden nature of spinal cord injury, caregivers lacked caring knowledge and skills and were eager to learn caring skills) .Conclusions:The care experience of caregivers of patients with spinal cord injury is multifaceted. Medical and nursing staff should pay attention to the care needs and real experience of caregivers, provide them with professional care guidance and support, help them to be well qualified as caregivers, and improve the physical and mental health and quality of life of patients with spinal cord injury and their caregivers.
