ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

Due to the problems of improper cooperation and delayed communication in routine nursing, patients with severe craniocerebral injury (STBI) often cause sequelae such as cognitive impairment, stiffness, spasm, pain and behavioral abnormalities in the early rehabilitation stage.

Research motivation

Bundle of care is a series of intervention strategies to optimize high-risk links, reduce risks and integrate and optimize effective nursing measures according to the actual situation of patients. In this study, bundle of care was applied to early rehabilitation nursing of STBI patients.

Research objectives

This study aims to explore the clinical effect and problems in the application of bundle of care in optimizing the first aid process and early rehabilitation nursing of patients with STBI.

Research methods

The control group was treated with routine nursing. The study group adopted bundle of care. Evaluation indicators included National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale/Score, Glasgow Coma Scale score, Barthel Index, complication rate, muscle strength grade and satisfaction.

Research results

In terms of first aid, it can effectively improve the rescue effect and neurological function of patients with STBI and shorten the treatment time. In early rehabilitation, it can effectively improve the awareness of patients with STBI, improve their daily life activities, reduce the occurrence of complications, accelerate the recovery of muscle strength and improve the satisfaction of patients.

Research conclusions

Bundle care can optimize the nursing process. It is worth popularizing in the nursing of patients with STBI.

Research perspectives

In the follow-up study, we should increase the samples and follow-up indicators to further explore the impact of high-quality nursing on the long-term efficacy of patients, so as to provide a more reliable basis for clinical practice.
