Abstract:
Objective
To explore the influence of family rehabilitation guidance on the self-care living ability of children with cerebral palsy.
Methods
Totally 46 children were included as the subjects,who were treated in Shenyang Children's Hospital from Jan. 2015 to Jan. 2016,and they were randomly divided into two groups:observation group (23 cases) and control group (23 cases).Both groups were given conventional nursing as well as dieting guidance,safety guidance and basic nursing. In addition,family-based rehabilitation training was carried out. After the training in the rehabilitation training room,individualized rehabilitation nursing plan was made by the special nurses and experienced nurses based on the children's condition,and the parents were educated about how to help the children develop the self-care living ability,which lasted for 6 months. Observe the ADL scores before and after rehabilitation.
Results
There was no statistical difference in ADL scores in control group between before and after treatment(P>0.05).ADL scores were significantly higher after treatment than before treatment in observation group,the difference being statistical(P<0.05).After 6 months of treatment,the scores in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group,and the difference was of statistical significance(P<0.01).
Conclusion
Family rehabilitation guidance can improve the motor function and the self-care living ability of children with cerebral palsy,which results in less dependence on their family members.
