Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of a family-centered care (FCC) model on clinical efficacy, quality of life, and the emotional behavior of children with acute otitis media (AOM) in an otolaryngology clinic.
Methods: Data were collected from a hospital otolaryngology clinic in relation to 112 cases of children with AOM who met the inclusion criteria. These cases were randomly divided into 2 groups of 62 patients each. The control group was given routine nursing for AOM, whereas the intervention group was provided with FCC nursing. The general data, periosteal congestion and ear pain scores, effective rate, and treatment time for the 2 groups of children and their caregivers were compared. The children's quality of life and strengths and difficulties scale as well as the caregivers' nursing skills scores before and after the intervention were compared between the groups.
Results: The general data from the 2 groups of children and caregivers were comparable. After the intervention, the scores for tympanic membrane congestion and ear pain in the intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group. Moreover, the intervention group's effective rate was higher, and the treatment time shorter than those of the control group (P < .05). The intervention group's scores on quality of life, emotional symptoms, hyperactivity and attention deficit behavior, and conduct and peer interaction problems were higher than those of the control group (P < .05). The intervention group caregivers' scores for nasal and ear drip methods and bed shampoo skills were higher than those of the control group after the intervention.
Conclusions: The application of the FCC model in the nursing management of children with AOM can effectively shorten treatment time and improve clinical efficacy, mood and behavior, and the level of caregivers' nursing skills.
期刊介绍:
Quality Management in Health Care (QMHC) is a peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for our readers to explore the theoretical, technical, and strategic elements of health care quality management. The journal''s primary focus is on organizational structure and processes as these affect the quality of care and patient outcomes. In particular, it:
-Builds knowledge about the application of statistical tools, control charts, benchmarking, and other devices used in the ongoing monitoring and evaluation of care and of patient outcomes;
-Encourages research in and evaluation of the results of various organizational strategies designed to bring about quantifiable improvements in patient outcomes;
-Fosters the application of quality management science to patient care processes and clinical decision-making;
-Fosters cooperation and communication among health care providers, payers and regulators in their efforts to improve the quality of patient outcomes;
-Explores links among the various clinical, technical, administrative, and managerial disciplines involved in patient care, as well as the role and responsibilities of organizational governance in ongoing quality management.
