What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Establishment of a hierarchical monitoring and management teamBehavioural

    To be specific, the head nurse served as the team leader to conduct comprehensive macro supervision; moreover, there were 3 responsible team leaders and 6 responsible nurses, all of whom had rich clinical nursing experience and solid theoretical knowledge of pressure injury. Consequently, a joint-action mechanism of the head nurse - responsible team leader - responsible nurses was developed to facilitate the unification of the training of nursing content, precautions, etc.

  • Assessment of pressure injuryBehavioural

    Based on the postoperative coma of patients, the Braden assessment scale was applied to effectively evaluate patients from six dimensions of sensory perception, moisture, activity mode, mobility, nutrition, friction, and shear. The total score was 23 points. Patients scoring 13~14 points were evaluated by Braden once per week; and those scoring ≤12 points were evaluated at a frequency of 3d/ time.

  • CommunicationBehavioural

    Through intensive face-to-face communication with family members, timely information on the surgical effect, mechanism of pressure injury, preventive measures, and clinical manifestations through intuitive methods such as PPT and video, family members were taught with basic knowledge of pressure injury, and guided to inform medical staff in a timely manner when patients had symptoms of pressure ulcer. Simultaneously, by case sharing and positive suggestions, family members were supported to alleviate their concerns and improve their coordination with treatment

  • Intervention for pressure ulcerBehavioural

    For patients with a Braden score of >14 points, attention should be paid to keeping skin dry and clean, regularly changing bed sheets and bedding (once per day). Patients with Braden score of 13-14 points should be provided with sponge mattresses, increased times of turning over once per 2 hours, and soft pillows or foam dressings at the site of occipital protuberance to relieve pressure and prevent pressure injury. For patients with Braden score ≤12 points, medical staff should repeatedly emphasize to their families the harm of pressure injury to postoperative recovery.

  • Rehabilitation trainingBehavioural

    After regaining consciousness with stable vital signs, patients received rehabilitation training following the principle of association of activity and inertia in a regular order. Patients were guided to perform upper limb movements, joint flexion, lower limb flexion and extension, as well as daily training such as washing face, rinsing mouth, and dressing at a frequency of 3~4 times/d. Moreover, patients were advised to minimize violent behaviors such as laughing and talking loudly

  • introduction of the current patient's condition to family membersBehavioural

    timely introduction of the current patient's condition to family members to alleviate their concerns

  • maintaining appropriate temperature and humidity in the wardBehavioural

    maintaining appropriate temperature (20 ℃~22 ℃) and humidity (60.0%~70.0%) in the ward

  • careful observation of vital signs in patientsBehavioural

    careful observation of vital signs such as heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, and blood pressure in patients

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. GCS scores

    The highest GCS score was 15 points, indicating clear consciousness; while patients with 13-15, 9-12, and ≤8 points were classified as mild, moderate consciousness disorder, and coma, respectively. Patients with lower scores might indicate more serious consciousness disorder

    Measured: one day before the intervention

  2. GCS scores

    The highest GCS score was 15 points, indicating clear consciousness; while patients with 13-15, 9-12, and ≤8 points were classified as mild, moderate consciousness disorder, and coma, respectively. Patients with lower scores might indicate more serious consciousness disorder

    Measured: 2 months after rehabilitation treatment

  3. cognitive function scores

    Cognitive function was evaluated using the Chinese version of the Neurobehavioral Cognitive Status Exam (NCSE) to assess the cognitive function of patients before and 2 months after rehabilitation treatment. This scale includes 10 items, i.e., spatial orientation (12 points), concentration (8 points), understandability (6 points), retelling (12 points), naming (8 points), spatial construction (6 points), memory (12 points), computing (4 points), similarity (8 points), and judgment (6 points)

    Measured: one day before the intervention

  4. cognitive function scores

    Cognitive function was evaluated using the Chinese version of the Neurobehavioral Cognitive Status Exam (NCSE) to assess the cognitive function of patients before and 2 months after rehabilitation treatment. This scale includes 10 items, i.e., spatial orientation (12 points), concentration (8 points), understandability (6 points), retelling (12 points), naming (8 points), spatial construction (6 points), memory (12 points), computing (4 points), similarity (8 points), and judgment (6 points)

    Measured: 2 months after rehabilitation treatment

  5. functional independence scores

    Functional Independence Measure (FIM), utilizing a 7-point ordinal scale, was employed to assess the functional independence of two groups of patients before and 2 months after rehabilitation treatment. FIM measures independent performance in self-care, sphincter control, mobility, locomotion, communication, social cognition, etc. The minimum score is 18 points, and the maximum score is 126 points (91 points for motor function and 35 points for cognitive function)

    Measured: one day before the intervention

  6. functional independence scores

    Functional Independence Measure (FIM), utilizing a 7-point ordinal scale, was employed to assess the functional independence of two groups of patients before and 2 months after rehabilitation treatment. FIM measures independent performance in self-care, sphincter control, mobility, locomotion, communication, social cognition, etc. The minimum score is 18 points, and the maximum score is 126 points (91 points for motor function and 35 points for cognitive function)

    Measured: 2 months after rehabilitation treatment

  7. Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scale (NSNS)

    The Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scale (NSNS) was used to survey patient's nursing satisfaction. This scale measures patient's satisfaction with nursing care from 19 items, including nurse work ability, communication attitude, psychological counseling, nursing support, safety management, etc. It uses a 1-5 point scoring system, with a maximum possible score of 19-95 points. A score of ≥77, 58~76, 39~57 and ≤38 points indicated very satisfied, satisfied, somewhat satisfied, and dissatisfied, respectively. Satisfaction rate= (Cases of very satisfied + satisfied + somewhat satisfied)÷total cases

    Measured: one day before the intervention

  8. Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scale (NSNS)

    The Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scale (NSNS) was used to survey patient's nursing satisfaction. This scale measures patient's satisfaction with nursing care from 19 items, including nurse work ability, communication attitude, psychological counseling, nursing support, safety management, etc. It uses a 1-5 point scoring system, with a maximum possible score of 19-95 points. A score of ≥77, 58~76, 39~57 and ≤38 points indicated very satisfied, satisfied, somewhat satisfied, and dissatisfied, respectively. Satisfaction rate= (Cases of very satisfied + satisfied + somewhat satisfied)÷total cases

    Measured: 2 months after rehabilitation treatment

  9. incidence of adverse reactions
