This meta-analysis systematically evaluates the impact of continuous nursing care interventions on wound infections and ulcerations in patients with diabetic foot. A comprehensive computerized search was conducted, from database inception to November 2023, in PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the application of continuous nursing care in diabetic foot. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and conducted quality assessments based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data analysis was performed using Stata 17.0 software. A total of 23 RCTs involving 1813 diabetic foot patients were included. The analysis revealed that, compared to standard care, the implementation of continuous nursing care significantly reduced the incidence of wound infections (OR = 0.22, 95% CI: 0.15–0.32, p < 0.001) and complications (OR = 0.19, 95% CI: 0.14–0.25, p < 0.001), as well as the occurrence of foot ulcers (OR = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.12–0.35, p < 0.001). This study demonstrates that the application of continuous nursing care in diabetic foot patients can effectively reduce the occurrence of wound infections, foot ulcers, and complications, thereby facilitating patient recovery.
This study aimed to systematically evaluate the impact of evidence-based nursing (EBN) on perioperative wound infections and postoperative complications in patients undergoing surgery for liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC). Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) on the application of EBN on patients receiving LIHC surgery were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, Wanfang, China Biomedical Literature Database and China National Knowledge Infrastructure from the inception of each database to September 2023. Studies were screened and evaluated by two investigators based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and data were extracted from the final included literature. RevMan 4.0 was used for data analysis. Overall, 15 RCTs involving 1374 patients with LIHC were included, with 687 in the EBN group and 687 in the conventional care group. The analysis revealed that the incidence of wound infections (odds ratio [OR] = 0.32, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.18–0.56, p < 0.001) and postoperative complications (OR = 0.22, 95% CI: 0.15–0.31, p < 0.001) was significantly lower in the EBN group than in the conventional care group. The available evidence suggests that nursing strategies for EBN applied in the perioperative period in patients with LIHC receiving surgery can effectively reduce the incidence of wound infections and postoperative complications and promote postoperative recovery.
