ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

Patients with cerebral infarction are susceptible to stress injuries, which seriously threaten the lives and health of patients.

Research motivation

Look for nursing measures to cope with stress injury in patients with cerebral infarction.

Research objectives

This study aimed to explore the value of nursing service for stress wounds after cerebral infarction based on a multidisciplinary collaborative treatment team.

Research methods

A set of studies was conducted on patients with pressure injury wounds from cerebral infarction in our hospital from December 2016 to January 2021.

Research results

Before intervention, there was no significant difference in Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing score between multidisciplinary collaborative care (MDCC) group and conventional nursing care (CNC) group. After 2 wk and 4 wk, the score was lower than the CNC group. The wound healing rate of MDCC group was higher than that of CNC group. The comparison of Self-Perceived Burden Score of emotional factors, economic factors, and physical factors between the two groups before the intervention was not statistically significant.

Research conclusions

Interventions for patients with cerebral infarction pressure wounds based on an MDCC treatment team can effectively reduce patients' self-perceived burden, improve pressure wound conditions, facilitate wound healing, and increase patient satisfaction with the intervention.

Research perspectives

Intervention based on the MDCC treatment team in patients with cerebral infarction pressure injury can have greater application in the treatment of cerebral infarction pressure injury.
