Abstract

Objective: To study the effect of nutritional support under the clinical nursing path on the nursing effect, quality of life, and nutritional status of elderly patients with Alzheimer's disease.

Methods: 110 elderly patients with Alzheimer's disease admitted to our hospital from February 2018 to October 2019 were randomly selected and assigned at a ratio of 1 : 1 via random draw to receive either routine nursing (control group) or nutritional support under the clinical nursing path (experimental group). Outcome measures included nursing efficiency, quality of life index (QLI) score, Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) score, Mental Status Scale in Non-psychiatric Settings (MSSNS) score, social disability screening schedule (SDSS) cognitive function score, and Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA).

Results: Nutritional support under the clinical nursing path was associated with significantly higher nursing efficiency and quality of life scores versus routine nursing (P < 0.05). Nutritional support under the clinical nursing path resulted in significantly lower PSQI, MSSNS, and SDSS scores, and fewer malnourished cases versus routine nursing (P < 0.05).

Conclusion: Nutritional support under the clinical nursing pathway can significantly improve the quality of life, cognitive function, psychological status, and nutritional status of elderly patients with Alzheimer's disease, and has high application value.

Comparison of QLI between two groups. The abscissas, from left to right, represent the indicators of the experimental group and the control group in the QLI, which are daily routines, work and life, and interpersonal relationships. While the ordinates represent the QLI points. ∗represents that daily routines points (8.26 ± 1.57) of the experimental group was compared with the daily routines points (6.00 ± 1.04) of the control group. t = 8.90, P < 0.001. The difference is statistically significant; ∗∗represents that the work and life points (9.03 ± 0.51) of the experimental group was compared with the points (6.27 ± 1.04) of the control group. t = 10.87, P < 0.001. The difference is statistically significant; ∗∗∗represents the interpersonal relationship points (8.16 ± 1.13) of the experimental group was compared with the interpersonal relationship points (5.77 ± 1.25) of the control group. t = 10.52, P < 0.001. The difference is statistically significant.

The abscissas represent the experimental group and the control group from left to right, and the ordinates represent the MSSNS points. ∗represents that the MSSNS points (51.68 ± 5.22) of the experimental group were compared with the MSSNS points (56.38 ± 5.09) of the control group. t = 4.78, P < 0.001. The difference is statistically significant.
