Impact of finger exercises combined with early rehabilitation training on cognitive function,physical function,and quality of life in patients with dementia
Objective To explore the impact of finger exercises combined with early rehabilitation training on cognitive func-tion,physical function,and quality of life in patients with dementia,aiming to provide a reference for clinical nursing deci-sion-making.Methods Using convenient sampling,80 patients with dementia diagnosed at a hospital in Weinan City from May 2021 to May 2023 were selected as the study participants and randomly assigned to a finger exercise intervention group and a traditional intervention group,with 40 cases in each group.The traditional intervention group received traditional re-habilitation intervention,while the finger exercise intervention group received finger exercises combined with early rehabili-tation training intervention,both lasting for 3 months.The cognitive function of the two groups of patients was recorded be-fore and after nursing using the Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE),neuropsychiatric symptoms using the Neuropsy-chiatric Inventory(NPI),physical function using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale(FMAS),daily living ability using the Activities of Daily Living(ADL)scale,and quality of life using the Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74(GQOLI-74)and compared.Results Before nursing,no significant difference was observed in the subscale scores of MMSE,NPI,FMAS,ADL scale,and GQOLI-74 between the two groups(P＞0.05).After nursing,the subscale scores of MMSE in both groups increased significantly,with the finger exercise intervention group scoring significantly higher than the traditional in-tervention group(P＜0.05).The NPI scores in both groups decreased significantly,with the finger exercise intervention group scoring significantly lower than the traditional intervention group(P＜0.05).The FMAS and ADL scale scores in both groups increased significantly,with the finger exercise intervention group scoring significantly higher than the tradition-al intervention group(P＜0.05).The subscale scores of GQOLI-74 in both groups increased significantly,with the finger exercise intervention group scoring significantly higher than the traditional intervention group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Fin-ger exercises combined with early rehabilitation training can promote cognitive function,neuropsychiatric symptoms,and physical function in patients with dementia,and increase the quality of life,which is worth promoting in clinical practice.
