Effect of medical-nursing-family integrated management mode on status and growth of very low birth weight infants after discharge
Objective To investigate the effect of the medical-nursing-family integrated management mode on the status and growth of very low birth weight infants after discharge.Methods Eighty very low birth weight infants admitted to Department of Neonatology,Qingyuan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2019 to August 2023 were selected for the randomized controlled trial,and were divided into an experimental group and a control group by the random number table method,with 40 cases in each group.There were 21 boys and 19 girls in the experimental group;their gestational weeks were(34.92±0.89).There were 26 boys and 16 girls in the experimental group;their gestational weeks were(34.70±0.67).The control group were managed conventionally;in addition,the experimental group were managed by the integrated medical-nursing-family management mode.The general conditions,readmission rates within 30 days after discharge,feeding status,and growth indicators at birth and 1,3,and 6 months after birth in both groups were collected.t and x2 tests were used to compare the data between the two groups.Results There was no statistical difference in the readmission rate within 30 days after discharge between the experimental group and the control group[15.0%(6/40)vs.30.0%(12/40),P=0.108].5.0%(2/40)of the children in the experimental group were breastfed,and 10.0%(4/40)of the control group(P=0.396).All the growth indicators in the experimental group were better than those in the control group 6 months after birth(all P<0.05).Conclusion The medical-nursing-family integrated management mode can reduce the readmission rate after discharge and promote healthy growth and development of very low birth weight infants.
