Analysis of Effect of Point Application with Pingchuan Plaster Combined with Familial Nursing Guidance of Chinese Medicine Intervening Cough Variant Asthma in Children
Abstract: Objective: Based on routine western medicine treatment and nursing, to observe the effect of point application with Pingchuan plaster combined with familial nursing guidance of Chinese medicineintervening cough variant asthma(CVA) in children. Methods: A total of 120 cases of children in the remission stage or stable stage of CVA were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group, 60 cases in each group. Both groups were given montelukast sodium chewable tablets as well as nursing and management measures. The observation group was additionally treated with point application with Pingchuan plaster for 12 weeks, and was givenfamilial nursing guidance of Chinese medicine. Both groups were treated and observed for 24 weeks. Before treatment as well as on the 8th,16th and 24th week of treatment, the symptom scores were evaluated, and the quality of life was evaluated by Leicester Cough Quality of Life Questionnaire(LCQ); the CVA attacks in the 24 weeks were recorded, including the times of attack and the days of each attack. Results:On the 8th,16th and 24th week of treatment,the symptom scores in the two groups were decreased when compared with those at the previous time point(P<0.01),and the scores in the observation group were all lower than those in the control group(P<0.01). After treatment, the scores of physiology, psychology and society in LCQ as well as the total scores in the two groups were increased when compared with those before treatment(P<0.01), and the scores of three dimensions and the total score in the observation group were all higher than those in the control group(P<0.01). There was no significant difference being found in the comparison of follow-up time between the two groups(P>0.05). During the 24-week follow-up,the times of attack in the observation group were less than those in the control group(P<0.01),and the days of each attack were less than those in the control group(P<0.01). The nursing satisfaction in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion:Based on routine administration and nursing,the point application with Pingchuan plaster combined with familial nursing guidance of Chinese medicine for CVA in children,can reduce the days and times of attack,control symptoms,improve their quality of life and stabilize the condition of disease.
