Meta-Analysis of the Influence of Humanistic Care on the Incidence of ICU Syndrome

Abstract

Objective: To systematically evaluate the influence of humanistic care on the incidence of ICU syndrome. Methods: Randomized controlled studies on the influence of humanistic care on ICU syndrome were retrieved from Chinese journal full text database (CNKI), Chinese biomedical literature database (CBM), technology journals full text database (VIP) and Wanfang Digital Journal Full-text Database by computer. The literature was analyzed by Review Manager 5.3 software. Results: After screening, 15 randomized controlled trials involving 1278 patients were included. Meta-analysis confirmed that humanistic care could reduce the incidence of ICU syndrome, which was superior to conventional nursing methods, and the combined effect was statistically significant. Incidence of ICU syndrome: [(P = 1.00; I2 = 0%)], using Fixed-effect model, [OR = 0.32, 95% CI (0.24, 0.43), Z = 7.51, P < 0.00001]; Anxiety score: [(P = 0.86; I2 = 0%)], using Fixed-effect model, [WMD = −7.64, 95% CI (−8.77, −6.50), P < 0.00001]; Depression score: [(P = 0.001; I2 = 81%)], using Stochastic Effect Model, [WMD = −7.81, 95% CI (−10.01, −5.61), P < 0.00001]; Satisfaction of ICU patients: [(P = 0.71; I2 = 0%)], using Fixed-effect model, [OR = 5.49, 95% CI (2.57, 11.73), Z = 4.39, P < 0.00001]. Conclusion: Nursing ICU patients with humanistic care can reduce the occurrence of ICU syndrome, alleviate the degree of anxiety and depression, and improve patient satisfaction, which is obviously superior to conventional nursing methods.
