Abstract

Patients admitted to the cardiac care unit (CCU) are prone to functional degradation and disability due to prolonged hospitalization and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the activities of daily living (ADLs) after discharge from CCU. This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 180 subjects selected through convenience sampling from the patients admitted to the post-CCU of the hospitals affiliated to the three major medical universities of Tehran, Iran. The ADLs were evaluated by the Barthel index and the data were analyzed by the Wilcoxon test using SPSS version 19. P < 0.05 was considered significant. Bathing had the highest dependence level (21.1%) and disability in this activity increased from 12.8% to 33.9% after discharge. The lowest dependence was found for feeding (2.8%) anddependence augmented after admission, compared to before (92.96±16.02 and 82.85±22.22, respectively). The findings of this study could be applied in empowering the caregivers and designing home care plans for the patients after discharge from the CCU.

心脏护理病房出院后日常生活活动的残疾:一项横断面研究

入住心脏护理病房(CCU)的患者由于长期住院和心血管疾病，容易出现功能退化和残疾。本研究的目的是评估CCU出院后的日常生活活动(ADLs)。本描述性横断面研究通过方便抽样从伊朗德黑兰三所主要医科大学附属医院的ccu后住院患者中选择180名受试者。adl采用Barthel指数评价，数据采用SPSS version 19进行Wilcoxon检验。P < 0.05为差异有统计学意义。洗澡的依赖程度最高(21.1%)，出院后的残疾程度从12.8%上升到33.9%。入院后对喂养的依赖性最低(2.8%)，入院前对喂养的依赖性增强(92.96±16.02)，入院后对喂养的依赖性增强(82.85±22.22)。本研究的结果可用于增强护理人员的权能，并为患者出院后的家庭护理方案设计提供参考。
