Résumé

The goal of the present study was to explore and analyze the effect of comfort care on liver function and nursing satisfaction of patients with liver cirrhosis. A total of 122 patients with liver cirrhosis addmitted to our hospital from June 2018 to June 2020 were equally divided into a general care group (GC) and a comfort care group (CC) according to the principle of randomization. Routine care intervention was given in the GC group, and the CC group received both comfort care intervention and routine care intervention. The care effects regarding liver function and nursing satisfaction, etc. were analyzed and compared between the two groups. After care, both SAS score and SDS score in the two groups decreased, and the CC group had better scores of SAS and SDS as compared to the GC group (P<0.05). After care, the ALT and AST levels of the two groups all decreased. In the GC group, the ALT and AST demonstrated significantly better levels than those in the GC group (P<0.01). After care, each aspect in the CC group had better scores as compared to that in the GC group (P<0.05). After care, in the CC group, all the physiology, psychology, society and other index scores were significantly better than those in the GC group (P<0.05). Patients in the CC group had higher treatment compliance scores in comparison to patients in the GC group [(89.86±6.45) vs (64.46±13.75), P<0.01]. In the CC group, the nursing satisfaction (93.44%) was significantly higher than 78.69% in the GC group (P<0.01). Comfort care is a preferred nursing method for patients with liver cirrhosis in terms of elimination of negative emotions, recovery of liver function, quality of life improvement, treatment compliance, and nursing satisfaction.
