Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of integrating medical nursing with targeted functional training interventions on neurological and limb motor function and self-care ability in patients diagnosed with cerebral hemorrhage.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including 100 patients diagnosed with cerebral hemorrhage who received interventions at our hospital between January 2020 and June 2022. The patients were divided into two groups: the research group (50 cases) and the reference group (50 cases), based on different intervention methods. The reference group received targeted functional training intervention, while the research group implemented the integration of medical nursing in addition to the reference group intervention. Differences in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, Barthel index, Modified Barthel Index (MBI) score, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, Edinburgh Speech Scale (ESS) score, Fugl-Meyer score, Ability of Daily Living (ADL) score, and efficacy evaluation were observed and compared between the two groups of patients.
Results: After nursing, the Fugl-Meyer score and Barthel index score were significantly higher in both groups compared to before nursing, with the research group showing higher scores than the reference group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in limb motor function scores between the two groups before nursing (P > 0.05). After the integrated nursing intervention, the NIHSS and ADL scores of both groups were significantly higher than before nursing, with the research group demonstrating higher scores than the reference group (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: Integrating medical nursing with targeted functional training interventions has the potential to significantly improve cognitive function, neurological function, and daily activity engagement in patients with cerebral hemorrhage, thereby enhancing their overall quality of life.
