Information-motivation-behavioral guided nursing for stroke patients with pulmonary dysfunction: A randomized...

Area of Science:

• Neurology
• Pulmonology
• Nursing Science

Background:

• Stroke patients frequently develop pulmonary dysfunction.
• Pulmonary complications significantly impact patient outcomes and recovery post-stroke.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the efficacy of Information-Motivation-Behavioral (IMB) skills model-based nursing care.
• To assess the impact on pulmonary function, blood gas indices, complication rates, and quality of life (QoL) in stroke patients with pulmonary dysfunction.

Main Methods:

• A controlled study involving 120 stroke patients with pulmonary dysfunction.
• Intervention group received IMB-model-based nursing care; control group received routine care.
• Assessment of pulmonary function, blood gas indices, complication rates, and QoL pre- and post-intervention.

Main Results:

• The IMB group demonstrated significant improvements in pulmonary function (FEV1, FVC, PEF) compared to the control group.
• Enhanced blood gas indices (PaO2, SaO2) and reduced PaCO2 were observed in the IMB group.
• The intervention group experienced a lower complication rate (6.67% vs. 23.33%) and higher QoL scores.

Conclusions:

• IMB model-based nursing care effectively enhances pulmonary function and blood gas indices in stroke patients.
• This nursing care model reduces complication rates and improves the quality of life for stroke patients with pulmonary dysfunction.
• Further research is recommended to validate findings and explore long-term efficacy and applicability.
