Discussion on Improvement of the Incidence of Complications After the Application of Self-Management and Continuous Nursing in Children with Primary Nephrotic Syndrome.

Objective: To analyze the effects of self-management and continuous nursing on improving the incidence of complications in children with primary nephrotic syndrome.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 80 cases of children with primary nephrotic syndrome treated in our hospital from January 2019 to October 2022 was conducted. The patients were divided into a control group and an observation group, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing, while the observation group received self-management and continuous nursing. After different nursing measures were taken in the two groups, the incidence of complications, the total satisfaction rate of patients' parents, quality of life scores, and the urinary albumin excretion rate before and after nursing between the two groups were analyzed.

Results: (1) In comparison to the control group, the observation group had a lower incidence of complications (gastrointestinal discomfort, hypoglycemia, and abnormal liver function) (P < .05). (2) In comparison to the control group, the observation group had a higher total satisfaction rate of the patients' parents after nursing (P < .05). (3) Compared to the control group, the observation group reported higher quality of life scores (psychological function, spiritual vitality, and somatic function) after nursing (P < .05). (4) Compared to the control group, the observation group revealed higher self-management ability scores after nursing (P < .05). (5) After nursing, the urinary albumin excretion rate in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P < .05). (6) In terms of disease recurrence rate after 1 month and 2 months of nursing, the observation group reported was lower rate of disease recurrence compared to the control group (P < .05).

Conclusion: The application values of self-management and continuous nursing in children with primary nephrotic syndrome are significant.
