Insights
Informatization-based extended care significantly improved parental nursing skills and children's quality of life for pediatric leukemia patients. This approach also reduced anxiety and depression, increasing overall satisfaction.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Oncology
- Health Informatics
- Nursing Science
Background:
- Leukemia is a significant health concern in children.
- Effective post-discharge care is crucial for pediatric leukemia patients.
- Informatization offers novel approaches to extended care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the application value of informatization-based extended care for children with leukemia post-discharge.
- To compare the effectiveness of informatization-based extended care versus conventional nursing.
Main Methods:
- A cohort of 109 children with acute leukemia were divided into control (conventional care) and observation (informatization-based extended care) groups.
- Interventions were applied from January 2018 to January 2020.
- Parental self-care ability, children's quality of life, anxiety, depression, and satisfaction were assessed pre- and post-intervention.
Main Results:
- Informatization-based extended care significantly enhanced parental nursing abilities and children's quality of life compared to conventional care.
- Patients receiving informatization-based care showed greater reductions in anxiety and depression.
- Parental satisfaction with nursing care was significantly higher in the informatization group.
Conclusions:
- Informatization-based extended nursing care is effective in improving parental caregiving skills for children with leukemia.
- This approach positively impacts children's quality of life and reduces psychological distress.
- The findings support the clinical promotion of informatization-based extended care for pediatric leukemia patients.
Objectives:
This study explored and analyzed the application value of informatization-based extended care on children discharged with leukemia.
Methods:
109 children receiving chemotherapy for acute leukemia in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were selected as research subjects. The children were divided into the control group (n=53) and the observation group (n=56) on the basis of admission time point. The control-group children were given conventional nursing measures, and the observation-group children received informatization-based extended nursing care. Patients, self-care ability and their satisfaction with nursing care, and children's quality of life, anxiety and depression between the two groups were compared prior and post intervention.
Results:
After intervention, the score in each dimension and the total scores of caring abilities in the two groups of patients increased remarkably than those before intervention (P<0.05), and the caring skills, health knowledge and the improvement of total score of nursing ability in observation group was more obvious than which in the control group (P<0.05). Besides, the score in each dimension and the total scores of the living quality in the two groups of children after intervention increased significantly than those before intervention (P<0.05), and the indexes in observation group were remarkably higher than those in control group (P<0.05). The scores of anxiety and depression in both groups after intervention were significantly lower than those before intervention (P<0.05), and the reduction degree in observation group was greater than that in control group (P<0.05). In addition, the satisfaction rate of parents in observation group was notably higher than that in control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
The informatization-based extended nursing care can effectively promote the nursing ability of parents on children with acute leukemia, improve the life quality of children and reduce their adverse psychological moods, which is conducive to improving the nursing satisfaction, and is worthy of clinical promotion.

Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...
