Abstract:
This work explores the effect of a Wechat group on follow-up and continuation of nursing for discharged patients with Colles fracture. A total of 96 patients with Colles fracture are enrolled and randomized into two groups by the random number table method. The control group is followed up and guided by traditional methods. Based on the follow-up method adopted in the control group, a Wechat group is combined with Wechat constant tracking. The regular follow-up rate, a satisfaction of with continuing care, Gartland-Werley wrist score, the exercise of self-care agency score (ESCA score), and complications are compared and analyzed. The regular follow-up rate, satisfaction, Gartland-Werley wrist score, and self-care ability of patients in the Wechat group are significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05). Statistical analysis of postoperative complications showed that although there is no significant difference in the incidence of median nerve irritation and incision infection (p > 0.05), the proportion of joint stiffness in the control group is significantly higher (p < 0.05). The establishment of Wechat groups to follow up and continue nursing for discharged patients with Colles fracture is helpful to achieve better clinical efficacy and improve the effective way for doctor-patient communication, which is worthy of active promotion.
