Survey On The Cognition And Demand Of Family Care In The Families Of Patients With Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

Objectives:To understand the knowledge and demand status of family members of patients with severe traumatic brain injury(hereinafter referred to as family members or family members of patients),to analyze their differences in general data,to identify the factors that affect family members’ cognition and demand of home care,and to provide the basis for the patients with severe traumatic brain injury to carry out continuous nursing in depth and improve their family members’home care ability.Methods:This study is a cross-sectional study in non-experimental studies.From January to August 2019,the families of patients with severe traumatic brain injury who were discharged from ICU and neurosurgery department of a third class hospital in Shandong Province were investigated.Statistical analysis of survey data using SPSS 17.0.Counting data are described by frequency and composition ratio,and measurement data are described by mean ± standard deviation,t test was used to compare the mean of two samples,F test was used to compare the mean of multiple samples,and multiple linear regression was applied to the knowledge and needs of family caregivers factors for multivariate analysis.P<0.05 was statistically significant in this study.Results:(1)The total score of family members’ knowledge of home care is(47.36±4.40)(full score 80),item average score(2.96±0.27),at the medium level.The mean scores of each dimension item were life care knowledge(3.04±0.19),disease-related knowledge(3.03±0.38),rehabilitation care knowledge(2.78±0.51),psychological care knowledge(2.68),and home care needs.The total score was(108.39±18.49)(full score 200),items average score(2.71±0.46),which was at the middle level.The mean scores for each dimension entry were life care(1.68±0.48),health education(3.09±0.74),medical rehabilita-tion care(3.1 0±0.75),and psychological care(2.91±0.80).(2)There were statistically significant differences in the age,education level,monthly income of the family among the different groups,and the family members of the patients who participated in the disease-related knowledge training in terms of their knowledge of home care(P<0.05);there were statistically significant differences in the need for home care among the family members of the different groups in terms of work status,daily care time,and whether there were paid staff to help care and care for other patients(P<0.05).(3)Age,education level and disease-related knowledge training of families in different groups could explain the variation of 26.7%of family’s knowledge of home care in dependent variable,and the variation of family’s home care was 21.6%.
