ObjectiveThe study aimed to provide a guideline for continuous rehabilitation nursing for patients with severe finger replantation, and establish a satellite contact point for patients with severe finger replantation after discharge, so as to ensure scientific and effective rehabilitation training after discharge and explore the role of continuous rehabilitation nursing measurement in severe finger rehabilitation and neurovascular preservation.MethodsA total of 380 patients accepting neurovascular preservation finger replantation in the hand surgery department were divided into an observation group and a control group according to the number of hospitalizations. All patients underwent reconstructive surgery of severed finger. X-ray filming was used to monitor the postoperative nursing effect of neurovascular preservation of severed finger. The discharged patient information questionnaire was filled 3 days before the discharge. Then, a patient information database was established, and rehabilitation training was performed. Finally, sexual rehabilitation nursing follow-up intervention, telephone follow-up, and cross-referring intervention were carried out. Postoperative x-ray images were taken regularly to observe the recovery of reconstructed finger.ResultsThere was no difference in daily life ability scores and hand function scores between the 2 groups at discharge (P > 0.05). The daily life ability scores and hand function scores of the observation group were better than those of the control group at 1 and 6 months after discharge (P < 0.05), the difference is statistically significant. As the discharge time prolonged, the daily life ability score and hand function score of the 2 groups of patients gradually increased. X-ray images showed that the replanted finger body was well developed, phalanx was in good antithesis, and there was no epiphysis.ConclusionsContinuous rehabilitation nursing measures should be taken after the replantation of the severed finger after neurovascular preservation, which provides standardized rehabilitation training standards for patients with replantation of severed finger after discharge, improves patient training compliance, promotes hand function recovery as soon as possible, and enables patients to return to society as soon as possible, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
