Abstract
Hu et al explored the impact of comprehensive nursing model on swallowing function and quality of life in patients with ischemic stroke. They divided 172 patients into the control group (routine care) and the research group (comprehensive care), and used standard scales to evaluate the swallowing function, neurological deficit, anxiety and depression, daily living ability, and exercise of the two groups of patients before and after care. Changes in indicators of function, quality of life, and compliance. The results showed that compared with the control group, patients in the study group achieved significant improvements in various indicators, with a lower incidence of adverse reactions and higher satisfaction with care. These data suggest that the comprehensive nursing model can significantly improve the swallowing function, quality of life and satisfaction of patients with ischemic stroke. In the future, the development of comprehensive nursing models needs to focus on technological innovation, humanized services, continuing education and training, multi-disciplinary collaboration, optimal allocation of resources, standardized practice and evaluation, etc., in order to improve nursing effects and promote the improvement of medical service quality.
Core Tip: The comprehensive nursing model significantly improves the swallowing function, quality of life, and satisfaction of ischemic stroke patients by integrating multidisciplinary interventions. The study by Hu et al shows better outcomes with comprehensive care compared to routine care. The editorial emphasizes the importance of innovation, humanized services, education, collaboration, resource allocation, and standardized practices in developing comprehensive nursing models for better patient care.
