Application of inter-professional care model in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage

Abstract

Objective: To explore the feasibility and effect of the inter-professional care model in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. Methods: A convenient sampling method was used to recruit inpatients of a hospital as subjects from July 2016 to July 2018. According to the even/odd attribute of admission number, subjects were divided into a control group and an observation group. The number of recruited subjects was 311: the control group comprised 135 participants and the observation group 176. The average length of hospital stay, hospital fees, quality of life, and satisfaction with the quality of nursing were compared between the two groups. SPIRIT checklist was completed (see File S1). Results: After intervention, patients in the observation group had shorter average hospital stay (15.98 ± 2.7), lower hospital fees (81,018 ± 1.3), higher satisfaction with the quality of nursing (98.3%), lower incidence of complications (19.89%), improved ability to perform activities of daily living, and lower rate of disease outcome and re-admission, with statistically significant differences from the control group (p
