浅谈口腔护理质量预防老年2型糖尿病患者下呼吸道感染效果观察

摘要

目的 本次研究主要探讨口腔护理应用在老年2型糖尿病患者下呼吸道感染预防中的效果。方法 研究随机挑选医院2021年1月-2023年1月收治的80例老年2型糖尿病患者当作试验对象，并根据随机数表法进行分组，患者共分成对照组和试验组，对照组采取常规护理，试验组采取口腔护理，比较护理效果。结果 未实施护理干预前，对照组及试验组患者血糖水平比较不具有统计学差异（P>0.05），经护理后，试验组患者空腹血糖、餐后2h血糖及糖化血红蛋白水平均低于对照组，且下呼吸道感染及其他并发症发生率均低于对照组，护理满意度比对照组高，P<0.05。结论 老年2型糖尿病患者通过口腔护理干预可以有效预防下呼吸道感染，控制血糖水平，提高预后。

Abstract

Objective This study mainly discusses the effect of oral nursing application in the prevention of lower respiratory tract infection in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods 80 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes admitted to the hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 were randomly selected as the subjects of the study, and were grouped according to the random number table. The patients were divided into the control group and the test group. The control group was given routine care, and the test group was given oral care. The nursing effects were compared.
Results Before implementing nursing intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in blood glucose levels between the control group and the experimental group (P>0.05). After nursing, the fasting blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, and glycated hemoglobin levels of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group, and the incidence of lower respiratory tract infections and other complications was lower than that of the control group. Nursing satisfaction was higher than that of the control group, P<0.05.
Conclusion   Oral nursing intervention can effectively prevent lower respiratory tract infection, control blood sugar level and improve the prognosis of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.
