Effects of Cluster Nursing Strategy on Neurological and Motor Functions in Patients with Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury.

This study aimed to explore the effects of the cluster nursing strategy applied to traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. Ninety-eight TBI patients admitted to the hospital were selected as the study subjects. They were randomized into two groups, the control group and the cluster group, with 49 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing methods, while the cluster group received cluster nursing strategy. The intervention effects were compared between the two groups. After 3 months, the total occurrence of complications in the cluster group was significantly lower than that in the control group. Postintervention, the cluster group had a significantly lower National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score and significantly higher Fugl-Meyer score and Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment score compared with the control group. The serum level of glial fibrillary acidic protein in the control group was significantly higher than that in the cluster group, while the serum level of brain-derived neurotrophic factor was significantly lower. The application of the cluster nursing strategy in the care of patients with TBI could effectively reduce the risk of complications and improve neurological, motor, and cognitive functions.
