View abstract on PubMed
Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Orem's self-care model significantly improved digit replantation outcomes. Patients using this model showed better functional recovery, sensory restoration, and daily living abilities compared to conventional nursing methods.
Area Of Science
- Orthopedics
- Nursing Science
- Rehabilitation Medicine
Background
- Digit replantation is crucial for restoring function after traumatic amputations, often affecting low-income workers.
- Orem's self-care model offers a potential framework for optimizing nursing care in digit replantation, but its clinical efficacy requires further investigation.
- Limited research exists on the application and impact of Orem's self-care model in the context of digit replantation.
Purpose Of The Study
- To explore the impact of Orem's self-care model on the recovery outcomes of patients undergoing digit replantation.
- To compare the effectiveness of Orem's self-care model versus conventional nursing in improving functional recovery, self-efficacy, and daily living abilities post-replantation.
Main Methods
- A single-center retrospective observational study involving 389 patients who underwent digit replantation.
- Patients were divided into an experimental group (Orem's self-care model) and a control group (conventional nursing).
- Propensity score matching was used to ensure comparability between groups, followed by statistical analysis (t-test, ANOVA, chi-square) of functional recovery, self-efficacy, daily living ability, sensory recovery, and complication rates.
Main Results
- The experimental group demonstrated significantly higher functional recovery scores at 2 and 6 months post-discharge (P < .001).
- Improved daily living ability (P < .001) and enhanced self-efficacy (P < .05) were observed in the experimental group at 6 months.
- While complication rates were similar, the experimental group showed a lower trend, and sensory recovery showed early signs of improvement.
Conclusions
- Orem's self-care model significantly enhances physical recovery, including functional and sensory restoration, and daily living abilities in digit replantation patients.
- The model also promotes psychological well-being by fostering greater self-efficacy among patients.
- Orem's self-care model is an effective nursing strategy for improving comprehensive outcomes in digit replantation.

Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...
