Abstract

Objective: To explore the role of personalized nursing in the care of patients with Alzheimer's disease. Methods: A total of 134 patients with Alzheimer's disease who were treated in our hospital from January 2016 to November 2018 were randomly divided into two groups. The patients in the control group were given routine care, and the patients in the experimental group were treated with personalized nursing; and then observation and comparison were given to the conditions, quality of life, incidence of adverse events and differences in quality of care of the two groups. Results: The daily living ability of the experimental group (26.71±3.55) was significantly lower than that of the control group. The intelligence status (22.43±2.54) and quality of life (28.99±2.79) was significantly increased (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse events in the experimental group 17.91% was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05); in the experimental group, the quality of care (96.72±1.29), safety care (95.63±2.41), infection control (93.43±3.12), basic care (94.21±2.19) and ward management (94.56±2.45) were respectively significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Applying personalized nursing to patients with Alzheimer's disease can improve their living ability and quality of life, improve their mental status, reduce the incidence of adverse events, and improve the quality of care. It is worthy of promotion and application.
