Abstract:

Objective To establish a subdelirium nursing program for ICU patients based on the best evidence,and explore its clinical application effect. Methods Based on the literature analysis,the subdelirium nursing program for ICU patients was established. Convenience sampling method was used to select 58 patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit in a tertiary class A hospital in Shandong Province from January to May 2023 as the experimental group,who were given the subdelirium nursing program based on the best evidence. Another 61 patients treated from August to December 2022 were taken as the control group and given routine nursing. The delirium rate and subdelirium rate,length of hospital stay and cognitive function score were compared between the two groups. Results After the intervention,the incidence of subdelirium was 16.07% in experimental group and 34.55% in control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The incidence of delirium was 7.14% in experimental group and 20.00% in control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The length of hospital stay was(6.02±4.00) days in experimental group and(6.44±4.45) days in control group,with no statistical significance(P>0.05). The cognitive function score of the experimental group was(9.09±0.67) points and that of the control group was(8.31±1.09) points,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.001). Conclusion The subdelirium nursing program based on the best evidence for ICU patients can help to reduce the incidence of delirium,subdelirium and enhance their cognitive function.
