Responsible system nursing intervention reduces anxiety and complications in high-risk pregnancies

Objective: This study set out to explore the effects of responsible system nursing on the negative psychology and complications in high-risk pregnancy patients during the perinatal period. Methods: A total of 168 patients with high-risk pregnancies and in the perinatal period who were admitted to Yantai Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine from June 2018 to June 2019 were selected. Among them, 88 patients given responsible system nursing were selected as the research group (RG) and 80 patients with conventional nursing were regarded as the control group (CG). The adverse pregnancy outcomes, postpartum complications, trait anxiety (T-AI), state anxiety (S-AI), Edinburgh Postpartum Depression (EPDS), Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale (BSES), social function (SSRS, SCSQ) score, postoperative quality of life (SF-36) and nursing satisfaction were observed and compared between the two groups. Results: The adverse pregnancy outcomes, incidence of postpartum complications, T-AI score, S-AI score and EPDS score of intervention group (IG) were lower than those of CG; while the BSES score, SSRS and SCSQ scores and SF-36 score were higher than those of CG, and nursing satisfaction score was also remarkably higher than that of CG. Conclusion: Responsible system nursing effectively improves pregnancy outcomes, psychological state and self-efficacy of patients, and raises their postpartum social functions and quality of life.
