Application of checklist-based nursing care process in patients undergoing intervention for coronary chronic total occlusions: a quasi-randomized study
Abstract
Background: Coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions are more complex than general percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures. However, only a few nursing methods are specifically applied to patients undergoing CTO interventions. And the conventional nursing effect is not ideal, urgent need to explore more effective nursing methods. The checklist is a simple and effective tool for error management and performance improvement that has been widely used in many fields. But there have been no reports of the checklist being used to improve care for CTO patients.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a checklist-based nursing care process in patients undergoing Coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions, including duration of care, patient anxiety, improved patient satisfaction, and occurrence of adverse events.
Methods: A total of 120 CTO patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were selected at our hospital and divided into an intervention group (n = 60, adopted the checklist-based nursing care process for patient care) and a control group (n = 60, adopted nursing care according to the existing workflow) according to different nursing interventions. After surgery, the nurse in charge of the patient completed the nursing according to the "List of postoperative care for CTO patients" filled in by the patient within 24 h after surgery, conducted a doctor satisfaction survey, recorded adverse events, and completed the postoperative Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score and patient satisfaction survey before the patient was discharged. Subsequently, the Qc team checks the completion of the patient's checklist for safety and the completion of the questionnaire. Finally, the differences between the two groups in preoperative nursing time, incidence of adverse events caused by nurses' omission or inadequate guidance, patient anxiety, and doctor and patient satisfaction were compared.
Results: The intervention grouphad significantly shorter preoperative nursing care time and significantly lower the total number of adverse events than the control group (P < 0.05).The postoperative Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score of the intervention group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05).The satisfaction of doctors and patients in the intervention groupwas significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The application of the checklist-based nursing care process in patients with CTO intervention can significantly reduce the preoperative nursing care time, reduce patient anxiety, improve patients' and doctors' satisfaction with nursing care, and effectively reduce the occurrence of adverse events caused by nurses' omissions or inadequate instructions.
Trial registration: The protocol of the trial was registered retrospectively of Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (registration number ChiCTR2200056804, reg date17/02/2022).
