Objective This study aims to explore the application of standardized path of mobile nursing information system in health education for orthopedic inpatients.Methods One hundred orthopedic patients who were hospitalized from January to December 2017 and 100 orthopedic patients who were hospitalized from January to December 2018 were enrolled as the control group and experimental group respectively.All patients were managed by traditional routine care,and those in the experimental group were additionally treated with mobile nursing information system applications based on Personal Digital Assistant(PDA).The clinical information collection and verification time,health education awareness rate,nursing operation time,preoperative visit time and preoperative satisfaction,adverse events,and nursing satisfaction of the two groups were compared.Results Compared with the control group,the experimental group had significantly shorter information collection time,identity recognition time,and pre-nursing information verification time(P<0.05),significantly shorter nursing record writing time,nursing evaluation time,and data acquisition time for vital sign(P<0.05),significantly increased rates of reasonable diet,timely medication,and fluid control(P<0.05),significantly shorter the preoperative visit time,and significantly increased preoperative satisfaction(P<0.05),significantly lower adverse events(P<0.05),and significantly higher nursing satisfaction(P<0.05).Conclusion The clinical application of standardized path of mobile nursing information system in health education for hospitalized patients has significant effects,and it is worth promoting and applying in clinical practice.
