Abstract

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of targeted nursing for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). A total of 114 patients clinically diagnosed with stable SLE were prospectively selected. The patients were randomly divided into the regular special nursing group, comprising 56 patients and the targeted nursing group (i.e., taylor made according to different pathogenic conditions and treatment period), comprising 58 patients. The patients received standard medical treatment for SLE, irrespective of their group, and the efficacy of targeted nursing on disease activity, incidence of complications, therapeutic compliance, quality of life and nursing satisfaction was compared with regular special nursing. The patients were followed up for a period of 20 months. The results showed that, disease activity and injury index score and incidence of complications were significantly less in the targeted nursing group than in the regular special nursing group (P<0.05). Additionally, therapeutic compliance, quality of life score and nursing content satisfaction were significantly higher in the targeted nursing group in comparison with the regular special nursing group (P<0.05). Thus, the results indicated that targeted nursing significantly improved therapeutic compliance and quality of life, and simultaneously, reduced complications and disease activity in patients receiving standard treatment for SLE.
