Bundled care combined with animated educational videos can promote the recovery of severe pneumonia in children: A case-control study

Abstract

In this study, we analyzed the efficacy of animated educational videos and group nursing in the treatment of severe pneumonia in children. A total of 140 patients with severe pneumonia in our hospital from October 2022 to October 2023 were selected as the research subjects, and they were divided into a control group and an observation group. The control group received routine care, while the observation group received animated educational videos and cluster nursing interventions. The treatment effects of the 2 groups of patients were compared. Clinical indicators such as body temperature recovery time, blood oxygen saturation recovery time, heart rate recovery time, consciousness recovery time, and respiratory rate recovery time were compared between the 2 groups of patients. The results showed that the temperature recovery time, oxygen saturation recovery time, heart rate recovery time and respiratory rate recovery time in observation group were significantly different from those in control group (P < .05). Univariate analysis showed that families with or without anxiety disorder had statistically significant differences in economic conditions, extrapulmonary complications, nursing methods and other aspects. Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that nursing methods, extrapulmonary complications, and poor economic conditions (income < 5000) were risk factors for anxiety among family members of severe pneumonia patients, while good economic conditions (income > 5000) were protective factors. So, animated educational videos and bundled care can effectively improve the nursing effectiveness of children with severe pneumonia and promote their recovery.
