ABSTRACT

The study aims to explore the nursing effectiveness of acupoint patch therapy when used as an adjunctive intervention for pediatric bronchopneumonia, as well as to assess its influence on the alleviation of clinical symptoms, restoration of pulmonary function, treatment adherence, and family contentment. This study enrolled 98 pediatric bronchopneumonia patients admitted to our hospital from January to December 2022, randomly divided into an observation group and a control group (49 cases each). The control group received standard treatment and nursing care, while the observation group additionally received acupoint patch therapy. Clinical symptom improvement (including duration of fever, cough, lung rales, and wheezing resolution), pulmonary function indicators (including vital capacity [FVC], expiratory peak flow [PEF], and FEV1/FVC ratio), treatment compliance, and family satisfaction were compared between groups. Baseline data showed no statistically significant differences (P>0.05) between groups, ensuring comparability. Compared with the control group, the observation group demonstrated significantly shorter durations of fever, cough, lung rales, and wheezing resolution (P<0.05). Discharge pulmonary function indicators (FVC, PEF, and FEV1/FVC) were significantly higher in the observation group than the control group (P<0.05). Treatment compliance reached 91.84% in the observation group, significantly higher than the control group's 73.47% (P=0.042). Nursing satisfaction survey results showed 93.88% satisfaction among observation group families, markedly higher than the control group's 69.39% (P=0.012). As an auxiliary treatment for pediatric bronchopneumonia, acupoint patch application can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of children, accelerate the recovery of lung function, improve the compliance of treatment and the satisfaction of family care, and has a good application value, which is worth promoting and using in pediatric nursing.
