Objective To explore the effectiveness of comfort nursing intervention in the care of elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction to improve patient comfort and quality of life. Method In this study, 120 elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group was given individualized nursing intervention based on comfort nursing intervention, including physical, psychological, social and environmental nursing. The control group received routine nursing measures. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Motor Function Scale, Activities of Daily Living Assessment Scale, Newcastle Nursing Satisfaction Scale and Hamilton Anxiety Scale were used to evaluate the degree of neurological deficits, motor function recovery, self-care ability of daily life, satisfaction with nursing services and anxiety level of the two groups of patients. The data were analyzed using SPSS software. Result The effective implementation of comfort nursing intervention significantly improved the neurological function, motor ability, activities of daily living and nursing satisfaction of elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction, and reduced the level of anxiety ( p 0.01), and the overall satisfaction was significantly improved. Conclusion The effective implementation of comfort nursing intervention significantly improved the comfort and quality of life of elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction, indicating that the application of this theory in clinical nursing is of great value.
